Catalina 36 MkII Long Beach
I have a 2004 Catalina 36 MkII and need to replace the faucet in the head. The faucet is almost impossible to get to, let alone see what you are doing. I have used a mirror and taken pictures, but can not figure out how to get the old faucet out to replace it. If you have replaced your head faucet, could you please let me know the secret?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I had a similar problem when replacing my galley faucet (between the sink and bulkhead) until I found the faucet socket wrench that slides up each faucet water line assembly (after disconnecting the water supply lines below the faucet) to the nut that secures the faucet to the counter. Other alternatives were remove the sink/faucet assembly (after disconnecting the water supply lines below the faucet) OR cut an access hole in the bulkhead but was able to avoid these options. Hopefully the forum can offer you more specific advice on how they replaced their head faucet. Good luck.

Catalina 270 255 Wabamun. Welcome to the marina
There is also a version that has a simple C clip holding it in place. Get your phone up in there and take pictures till you get a clear view of what's up there.
