It has been 40 years that the sink fitting lasted, but it gave up a few days ago.
This meant that we had some water in the bilge and under the oven. Initially we could not work out from where it came and I was worried that the sea-cock made problems as the area around the valve was wet. I did taste the water again and again to find out that it was not sea-water. Phew!
Having figured out that the sink fitting was the culprit, meant that we had to find a new one.
No small feat.
- Off to Ramsmora where they did not have one. (2 hour+)
- Phone call to a DIY store nearby – no luck.
- Off to Watski at Vaxholm – nope. (2 1/2 hours)
- Off to a hardware store nearby – again no. (1/2 hour)
- Off to a DIY store – again failure (1 hour)
- Bus to Taby Centrum (1 hour+)
- YES we found a fitting fitting!!!
- Back to the boat (1 hour +)
- Make some distance rings and fit it (1 hour +)
BTW. It does not have a normal plug but operates on a mere push.
I absolutely loved the picture of you having found a fitting fitting!
It takes very little to make me happy indeed!
