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

Keep in mind folks that this is a sink in the fore cabin which is only used by 
guests,  and to the best of my knowledge, the sink has never been used other 
than to test it.  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.

Just weighing my options,

Bruce
