Sink Upgrade

I have a 1984 Catalina 36. I just updated the faucet (possibly original) and thought I'd share.

This is the faucet I decided to go with and love the way it turned out.

It was a very simply upgrade and only took a couple hours with the installation of new hoses and fittings throughout.

The part that took the longest was expanding the sink hole from the original faucet to 1 1/4". Other than that, it's a simple "plug and play" design. I also moved the telescopic faucet from the middle to the side of the sink, in which I like better already. This is a great DIY upgrade.

Very nice!  Not very expensive either!  I would get a stainless steel blanking plug from the hardware store to plug the hole from the seawater faucet that is removed, but really no big deal either way.  Nice job!

Agree - very nice upgrade.  Would you share how you enlarged the hole in the sink?  Tools, swearing, etc.
