Bruce, I’m with you. I always thought 4 sinks was overkill and nobody uses the one in the forward cabin. I’ve often wondered what it would be like to remove all that plumbing and fixtures to use that cabinet for some storage.
And yes, having a thru-hull that you can not quickly inspect and operate is dangerous. I also don’t see an issue with grey water going in the bilge. It’s not like it just sits there forever - your bilge pumps will send it overboard anyway. All the best, Edd ———————————————- Edd M.

There is a galley sink 7 ft. away, as is the sink in the head. If it turns out to be much more expensive, I might keep the seacock, but having one I can't really access goes against my grain. I could, in the alternative, put a second back in and simply leave it shut off. However, as long as the drain hose goes in the sump where the bilge pump draws from, any limited water that went down that sink would be quickly and easily pumped overboard.
