This is my first year decomissioning a 2002 Catalina 36 MKII for winter. The aft center water tank had the inline valve set to off all summer. After draining the 2 other tanks, I opened the valve for the aft center tank but no water flow. Left the water pressure pump on for several minutes to no avail. Any suggestions?

Ideas: 1. No water in the tank to drain; 2. hose from the tank is pinched somewhere; 3. Vent hose obstructed...no air flowing into the vent = no water coming out.

Make sure the valves to the forward and starboard tanks are shut so the pump can generate suction on the center tank.

Thanks for responses. Just to confirm, closing the valves on the other two tanks did the trick!
