We also have the small plastic pump in the cabinet under the sink that
pumps the icebox into the galley sink. The pump we have is a Beckson

Our 29-2 came with the plastic pump under the sink, same as the 35. On both
boats I replaced the pump with the small bronze PAR "Little Pal" pump, much
more reliable. I kept the installation as built because I don't want
anything from the icebox in the bilge. On BOTH boats we had a freezer pak

Erik,
Is it possible that a previous owner installed a hidden shut-off valve
somewhere?
Barring that, you could try using a compressor and an air-gun to blow air
into the hose end that drains into the bilge.
If there is anything solid blocking the drain line it probably came in from
the icebo
