Single lever faucets

Can someone suggest a good retrofit single lever faucet for the galley/ head?

I used the Scandvik sca 10480 for the galley, the sca 10485 for the sink in the head and then used the sca 10500 for a mixer and mounted the shower head on the wall. My wife likes taking showers on the boat with the seperat shower and its own single lever control. One of the members used a mixer control from home depot cheaper but the scandvik is smaller and easier to install. I love the single levers because it saves water,my wife knows were to set it

We all know the adage...."happy wife, happy life". Where did you mount the mixing valve and showerhead Bill?

I used a single lever faucet I found on ebay through Great Lakes Skipper it was called out as a MAKO 140469 but believe it was a Scandvik. I also found a Scandvik single lever shower mixer SVK 10479. Loove the change, this was all done this spring.

We're you able to drop the new faucets right into the same holes in the sink/countertops as the old ones, or were you replacing sinks or countertops also?

My sink needed to be reset so it was easy access and the faucet I used went right in the same hole and was quite simple to install!
