[C320-list] galley sink replacement

[Timothy Grennan]

I have been looking for a single bowl replacement for my double sink in my 2001 vintage boat. I have, up to this time, been able to find a single or double bowl that will drop in the existing hole. Good luck finding one. If you do,drop me a line with the manufacturer.
 
thanx,

I have a small pin hole leak from corrosion in my 1994 vintage sink and looked
into how to replace the sink, though it remains on my to do list.  I spoke with
Catalina parts and they no longer use this sink.  They directed me to
catalinadirect.com where they have a double sink on their website that looks
like it's the same as ours, but I never went further in my research to see
if the size is actually a match.  One difficulty in the replacement is that
my, and I presume your, sink is an "under mount", and the Catalina
parts guy indicated it would be nearly impossible to remove.  He suggested the
solution is to cut the old sink out using a metal cutting blade on a Dremmel
tool as close as possible to the counter top then installing the new sink as an
"over mount".  This sonds like it would work, though I have no
experience with cutting stainless steel with a Dremmel tool.  In the end I
opted for a bandaid fix of the leak which is holding for
 now.  Any thoughts?

I would like to replace the galley sink in our 1994 model -- one thing I
don't like about it is that the drain is raised a bit so you can't
really drain the sink by gravity alone and water at the bottom until sponged
out.  I believe the newer models don't have this issue.  Does anyone know
where to obtain a relacement?  And if anyone else has done a replacement, any
hints about how best to tackle the job?
