Dave,
I replaced mine a couple of years ago. I removed the tilt-out drawers/frame in the aft cabin and from there it was easy to change out. Plenty of access.

I bought mine from Defender Marine.

Fourth, pull the cabinet assembly away from the bulkhead.  You will now have all the room you need to change out the faucet.

Has anyone done a recent replacement and can offer suggestions on 1) where to buy the entire faucet assembly (any options other than Catalina Direct?); 2) getting the old corroded faucet out. Can the woodwork surrounding the access door in the aft cabin be removed to improve access? Any help would be appreciated.
