On my 2000 SeaRay 340 Sundancer, there is a sink in the Cockpit. It is a single handle (probably cold water only) faucet feeding into the sink. The manufacturer is shown as Whale. On Sunday, I turned the handle and 2 problems occurred. (1) A washer inside the assembly cracked. As a result, it would no longer create a water tight seal and would not allow me to turn off the water coming out of the faucet. I turned off the circuit breaker which stopped the pump and that stopped the water flow. (2) When I removed the round clear plastic handle from the top of the faucet top, I accidentally broke the plastic inner stem piece too. This inner stem allows for the water to both flow and also stops it. Now it won’t stop running if the pump is on
The problem gets worse. I cannot find a replacement part for this Whale single handle faucet because the part is so old. I called Whale (manufacturer) and they say they don’t have any anymore. I called MarineMax and they say that there is a replacement update by a manufacturer called Scandvik (part # 1718686). FP Marine shows a picture of this part. But it is a different manufacturer and I suspect the Scandvik parts won’t fit a Whale faucet
If I buy this replacement faucet, I will (most likely) have to swap out the Whale faucet for the Scandvik faucet. However, I can’t figure out to go gain access to the underneath of the sink/faucet area because access is not easily available. To get to the faucet, I may have to remove the freezer unit in the cockpit that is near the sink just so I can gain access
2 Questions:
1. If anyone knows where to buy original Whale parts please let me know? (this is my preference since it seems easier to fix it this way)
2. If anyone knows how to gain access to the underneath of the sink/faucet, if it ends up that I need to do the faucet swap, please let me know?
ANY suggestions are appreciated
