When I put them in I will use a silicon caulk of some sort to seal all three layers and hopefully keep them from rotting again.

not silicon...use gorilla glue ( the best thing since resourceanol glue two part mix )and clamps....use it libirally.....clean up is easy with a sharp chisel....

By the way, if you need to replace the faucet, I used the Ikea Edsvik one. It was only $80 and has the single hole to replace the original one. And you can exchange the hot and cold labels when you hook them up backwards!

The Moen Renzo faucet is the one Catalina is using in the new boats (or pretty close). It's a one or three hole install with an adapter. $109 at Lowes, I picked one up for $79 on sale.

So with all the counter tops removed I have started to cut the new counter tops using the old ones as templates. I noticed that there were small strips of wood (possibly teak) as edges for the ice box opening. Only problem was they were only the thickness of the plywood. I am going to extend these down to the full thickness of the plywood, fiberglass and ice box top. When I put them in I will use a silicon caulk of some sort to seal all three layers and hopefully keep them from rotting again.

CPES penetrating epoxy would do the trick.

Read the reviews before you buy. They are pretty damning.

You piqued my curiosity. The negative comments all have to do with the attachment for the pull out so I just took a look (it's sitting on my desk, haven't gotten it installed yet).

The pullout has plastic threads, and the braided steel line feeding it has metal threads. My guess is either over-torquing the metal nut onto the plastic threads or neglecting to use teflon tape to get a good seal - both problems I've seen with metal to plastic threads in the past.

I bought this model because the wife liked the faucets on the new boats and I've had good luck with Moen products in the past. The fact that it was on sale was a plus. I'll let you know in the spring how it works out

Jim,
I've had that facet in my boat for three seasons with no issues. It looks great. You won't be pulling the head out as the sinks are very small. I think I might have extended it a half a dozen times to rinse with. The problem is the hose is quite long, you could almost shower with it. I know you have that nice tile backstop which might help with the over spray

.
I'd do it again.

Bob, it meets the primary requirement -- the wife wants it.

That's what I get for taking her to the Annapolis boat show. But hey she also "talked me into" a top down furler/spinnaker setup at the show so I really can't complain

Wow! That looks very good Roy... Who did you use?

I used Archer Plastics, in Port Moody, on Murray Street across from Rocky Point Park, he only charged me $20 for four pieces, cut and finished with fingerholes, easiest mod I have ever done, and it does look really nice.
BTW, Rosa looked good at HS Bay today, it was quite calm today.

Thanks! I may have to give them a shout. You just have missed me. I was there working away on my hydronic heating system.
