Hi Allen,

I used the sink drain through hull.  I had to enlarge the hole slightly to fit 
the SP through-hull, but nothing major (especially as there was no core in the 
area).

We have slip B9 at Brewers - it is a very small world.  I am typing this 
looking out a window at the Thimble Islands - it's not a bad place to have a 
cruising boat (or any other way of enjoying the Sound)!
