Right now, this intake shares a thruhull with the engine's raw-water
inlet. I was thinking of moving it to the galley sink drain (closer,
easier access). If I did, I could flush it by turning off the seacock and
filling the sink with fresh water. But would the sink drain "yukky-stuff"
end up flowing back into this spigot too much?

Not if you clean the sink first. The detergent/scouring powder used to
clean the sink should also clean the drain enough. You can also put a
squirt of Raritan C.P. down the drain after you flush it out...the
enzymes in it will keep the drain clean and smelling good.

Btw...I wouldn't pump any water into the sink while the engine's
running...unless you just happen to like replacing engine water pump
impellers often.
