Rather than "snake" it back and forth, make it like a house radiator:

||================||
||================|| Sink
||================||
||================||

( artistic note the || & || are all connected)  It must drain to the rear (one
would want the water to settle in the low point), because if it drains to the
front, you will get airlock and the sink will not drain properly (maybe not at
all).    malcolm s
