[quote=richie30]I have read a few of the posts re replacing the galley sink. Does anyone have any suggestions and or photos?
Failing a complete replacement, perhaps just replacing the facet and drain assembly might be acceptable to the "skipper". I also have a "nickel sized" hole just in front of the facet, not sure what it was for or how to fill.

  This post from us -- https://www.catalina36.org/comment/59281#comment-59281 --  on an earlier thread has a photo of the replacement sink we installed in our galley, and details of the make and model number. 
  It was about half the price of the replacement stock double sink, and we've come to really appreciate the ease of using reasonably-sized single sink rather than two tiny ones.  (Yes, probably less ideal when sailing in terms of preventing water from slopping around, but we don't tend to do much elaborate stuff in the galley while sailing the boat anyway).  We can actually put our large pots inside it when cleaning or filling them -- imagine that!
  You can install pretty much any kitchen faucet into it; we replaced the original faucet a number of years back on the old sink with the Scandvik galley faucet that now appears in the photo on the right hand side of the sink which is easier to use (and saves water) by having a single lever rather than having to manipulate a hot and cold faucet.  But in hindsight, we should have installed one of those kitchen faucets that also converts into a sprayer hose -- that would have been a handy thing.  
  The little faucet on the left side of the sink in the photo is for filtered water -- it runs pretty slowly so we gave it its own faucet (because it was frustrating when we were drawing water for washing dishes or other uses).  The little spout on the top right is for the icebox drain, operated by the foot pump.   We tend to supplement our icebox with 10# blocks of ice when cruising, to cut down on battery drain, and the melt water can be used as well for dishwashing.

The bad news is gaining access to the underside of the sink and faucet with tools is difficult. Very little space between the sink and the back of the settee. Some have cut a service port in the back of the settee to do this work. Others have removed the entire sink.

If you are not removing the entire sink, one way to get access is to remove both the drawer unit under the sink as well as the side drawer unit.   I just removed the latter this weekend for access to something else, but its not difficult and makes it a lot easier to work on things.  The side unit has maybe 8 screws fastening it to the cabinet; they are hidden under wooden bungs, which you can drill out to expose the screw heads.
  Without this, would very much agree with Paul O -- the contortions to access the faucet are, um, challenging.

The nickel sized hole in front of the faucet was used for a salt water spigot that was pressurized by a foot pump I believe.

We have that spigot as well, but as mentioned above, its used on our boat for the drain from the ice box.   Not sure if this was the original design.
