[Public-List] Galley Sink

[Mike Lehman]

I to agree. I would be concerned that connecting the sink drain to the
starboard cockpit drain could cause the sink to fill and perhaps overflow
flooding the boat while on a starboard tack since the the water level in
the sink drain is only an inch or so below the sink. Also, not a good idea
to have multiple drains sharing the same thru-hull fitting. I did what
Marcelo did, which is to add dedicated deck drain thru-hull fittings to
avoid sharing the cockpit drains. We have a liner boat.
