Help me clear the drain from a well

Hi folks. Counting from the transom: 1. Battery box (with bilge pump); 2. Live well (with pump); 3. Box with clogged drain hole that seems to be open into the starboard interhull space. 4. Box which drains to same space as box # 3.
To where does box 3 drain? It seems that it must be connected to the battery box, so I'm going back out to pull the batteries and have a look inside.

Never mind...

After spending a couple hours hanging upside down in the battery box, trying to see up the proverbial drain pipe with a mirror, I knew what I had to do: read through the "dumbest mistakes I ever made" thread to get ready to solve the problem. And didn't the little woman say, two hours back, "Maybe you have the nose too high in the air..." and I stomped that because, what is she, a water drop? Well, you know it: I lower the nose of the trailer down (I had raised it to drain well while I hosed and cleaned...), and damned if those odd twenty gallons didn't come flooding out! I was wondering why she keeps me around. Now I know: grunt labor. :cen:
 
Just a suggestion.. When I needed to look around inside of my hull in those odd and hard to get to places, I stuck my digital camera in as far as I could reach and started clicking away! When transferred to my computer, I was amazed at what I could see now and move around to examine all of those tight spots. Not to mention with the Zoom feature on my computer I could get detailed closeups of any area I needed to check. Cheap, and easy...:sun:

Thank you!

That's a great suggestion. I noticed other people's posts sometimes contained pictures that were taken by just holding the camera in some place where it was hard to put your head. Next time I'm going into the bilge, that's the ticket.
