I would like to pull the Gally sink drain from the sump and do a thru hull, how difficult would this be on a 420 AC?
 
Well since nobody replied after a week, I’ll be froggy. Dont have that boat, but i installed A/C in a prior boat. Had to make a thru hull discharge for A/C water out the side. It was a lil scary but take measurements from inside to outside. Measure a lot, be sure your discharge isn’t below water line. Take the tiniest drill bit you got and made a very small pilot hole. If its at least a safe space above water line then rock on with the drilling.

Thank you Pirate Lady. Don't understand why nobody responded, except you. Thanks.

A bunch of us have done it on the 400 Sedan Bridge. Similar hull to your boat but slightly different galley layout. There are pictures and descriptions in the 40 Sedan Bridge thread.
 
Different boat, but I've done it to both my Four Winns 318 and 358.

Find where you think the perfect spot is on the inside of the hull, then tape a magnet to it. Go outside of the boat with another magnet and line them up. Does that spot still work?

Be sure it's low enough so the sink still drains properly. Install the new thru hull with LifeCalk. If there's any coring, seal it with epoxy.

I replaced my shower sump at the same time, so there wasn't an open hose barb needing to be sealed.
