[C320-list] Head shower Faucet replacement

[Warren Updike]

Gary, we had the exact same problem. Because the flex hose is after the
faucets, the leak only occurs when the faucet is running.  This drove me
nuts for a while because I couldn't find the source of the leak.  The hose
fittings are metric and apparently standard in England and Europe.  After
much time I managed to find the hose through a place in Florida.  I think it
cost about $50 with shipping.  I was glad to get it.  A few weeks later, I
was in our marina store and, much to my surprise, there were three of these
hoses on the shelf.  The price was less than I paid and no shipping. 

I think it is a well-made faucet and would not want to replace it with what
I've seen one US store shelves.

Subject: [C320-list] Head shower Faucet replacement

Has anyone replaced the head faucet/shower assembly.   As we left the 
boat yesterday, I realized it has been spraying the area behind the sink 
for a while.    perhaps that is the source of some of the water under 
the galley sink....?    My hull is 205 -- 1995 vintage.   The 
manufacturer was a west German company Grohe.     The pull out hose 
connection is the source of the leak.  Local box stores and plumbing 
supply houses are sure I am from another planet.   If a new faucet 
assembly is the next step, can anyone tell me if the sink is a three hole or
a single hole???

Thanks,
