I just finished rebuilding the Whale “Flipper” faucet in the galley sink. It had been leaking and was 6 years old. Here is a picture of all the faucet parts and the kit:



Here are the directions that come with the kit:



Here is the unit re-assembled and ready to go back in the boat:



The rebuild is easy but be prepared to be GROSSED OUT by the gunk inside the faucet! Gooey black stuff, etc. I spent about an hour cleaning everything off. Total job was two hours. The rebuild kit came from www.defender.com


We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.

I gather they didn't have a stainless steel version?
