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)!
