Default Clogged Cooler Drain Hose

I just bought my 1997 210 BR last weekend, and in cleaning out the cooler from the previous owner's last outing last year I found the hose to be clogged. I was able to remove the drain hose from where it connects to the hull, but not the cooler itself. I loosened the clamp, and no matter what I do I can't get the hose off. Being that it is really hard to see under there, does anyone know of a trick to getting that hose off or trying to clear a clogged drain? I think it's plugged right at the 90 degree elbow coming out of the cooler.

Thanks!
Jason

Have you tried an air compressor?

No, haven't tried that yet. I'll give it a try the next time I head out. I don't have a compressor, so I'll have to give the old gas station hose a try. Thanks!

Hit it with the garden hose, or string a coat hanger through it

Upon some searching I found this post http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=184979 you may have an inline one way valve. I would try the garden hose at either end to confirm this
