My center cockpit ketch had the aft sink plumbed 10 feet to a tee in

Now, I'm trying to connect these back up...

I've a bit of a problem running the sink drain to the cockpit drain
through hull.

I think I should have a problem teeing the sink into the head through
hull....

Why? It's a great idea! In fact, several sailboat builders plumb them
that way to save a through-hull. There's also another advantage--the
ability to use the sink to flush seawater out of the whole system before
it can sit and stagnate (or after it has)...just close the seacock, fill
the sink with clean fresh water...flush. Because the thru-hull is
closed, the toilet will pull the water out of the sink, rinsing out the
intake hose and channel in the rim of the bowl as well as the discharge
hose...something that just pouring water into the bowl can't do. It does
require keeping the sink plugged when not in use, though...otherwise the
toilet will pull air through the sink, preventing the pump from priming.

I figured somebody
here would have an opinion....

Yup.
