Does your sink drain to the bilge or out? I'd get something non-porous =
and that's unaffected by heat. Told you that if you poured all that =
turkey grease down there you'd regret it....

It goes out. The Tahiti had a sump in the bilge and wasn't a problem. Go
figure.

It wasn't the turkey, it was those damned little quail!

A galley sink on a liveaboard draining into the bilge? Is this a Mid-Western thing?

We put in one of those Rule sump pans with the little pump and strainer.
Keeps the bilge clean.

Katy:

It is illegal to drain the ice chest to the bilge on the Great Lakes, well, on the Canadian side anyway. I am assuming it's the same on your side. Of course this doesn't bother me too much as mine does the same.
