I was able to figure out the sink thanks to some awesome help from here, but I need a little help with the drain? The water doesn't go away? Is that normal to have water stay in the sink? If not do I need to open some hidden valve to allow drain to work? I did find a hidden valve to allow the sink to work now if I can just get the sink to drain... I took a plunger to it, and the water will flow after I give it a couple of pushes, but no matter how much I plunge... not sure of the spelling... I pull up more water than drains out?

If your sink doesn't drain properly and isn't obstructed by debris or a stopcock. Then I'd check the level of the sink compared to the level of the through hull. If the through hull drain is not below the level of the sink then I'd say that would be your problem (assuming that it's not obstructed).

So the through hull should be lower than the sink, i remember looking under it and seeing the drain line going down but hard to tell where, do have / had a h22 and know where it should be? Sorry so many questions...

Under the aft most starboard settee, there is the thru hull for the sink drain. The OEM for the thru hull was a gate valve. Which by now may be frozen open or closed no matter how much you turn it. Replace it with a proper seacock.

inarathree:
I'm still learning the terms... so forgive me... when you reference, aft most starboard settee, is that the compartment under the seat, located on the side of the electrical panel?

Chasemixon,
Yes, there are three compartments on the stbd side...under the aft most (aka: stbd quarterberth) there is a 3/4" hull pennetration and seacock (hopefully a ball valve) to isolate the galley's gravity drain to the sea.
