O'Day 222,is almost finished. The biggest brain twister of this project is trying to figure out how to connect the 2" RV strainer basket to the 5/8" hose for the drain, but Home Depot had all the plastic and Nylon fittings to accomplish the task. I reused the original "L" shaped hose fitting, which is 3/4" and threaded on one end. The drain tail piece and reducer is pictured in the Jpeg. I cut it down as short as I could so that it doesn't take up much room in the cabinet. My boat stove will set to the right of the sink on the stainless steel steam table pan. I plan on using a non-skid mat under the stove so that it doesn't slide. My pots and pans will stow in the newly created space under the stove. I moved the pump faucet over to the left to keep it away from the stove. I won't have to worry about burning my arm on the stove-top oven while I'm washing my dishes. I'm pretty satisfied with the way that this project came out, and I think that it's going to be a lot easier to keep clean than what was originally there. I plan on stealing some of Dave's ideas for installing shelves near the galley cabinet. This was a fun project, and it also provided me with a lot of exercise, going to and from my woodworking shop in the cellar to my boat. Joe

Joe, Nice sink install. Was the sink a Home Depot pick up too?

New Galley sink

Hi Chuck! Thank you. I'm not what you'd call a craftsman, but I do have all the necessary woodworking power tools in my workshop cellar. The steam table pan is going to be screwed into the cabinet permanently. All my pots and pans fit into that opening under the stove. I'd really love to be able to store my stove top oven under the stove, but that would probably entail cutting the opening in the cabinet a little larger, and I don't know if I want to do that. The new sink is sitting on top of the front and left side of the cabinet, and it's also sitting on a small partition that Built inside the cabinet for my new storage space. I had just enough room in back off the sink to mount my pump faucet. Chuck Labonte; Thank you. In answer to your question; I ordered the sink on line from Mobilemart.com and was able to mail them a money order for it. Actually, the new sink is made by La Salle and costs about $50. They shipped it from Muskogee OK. My youngest son purchased the full size steam table pan at a wholesale food and restaurant supply company in the Taunton/Norton Industrial Park where he is employed. He bought it for me at a good discount. Joe
