The drain trap on our galley sink unceremoniously gave way and we didn't find out until we opened the top drawer and found it full of dishwater.

The original drains had a small thumbscrew at the bottom that held everything together and allowed disassembly, I guess for cleanining or retrieving the old wedding ring. The fasterner was corroded beyond recognition and whether it was stainless steel or brass, I don't know.

Found the drains below on eTrailer.com for about $14 each (going to do the sink in the lav as well). I won't be using the cheap hose that comes with the drains.



Threads (1-1/2 x 11.5 Straight Pipe) and hose barb (3/4 ID) look to match up nicely and, if sucessful, will be one of our less expensive repairs.

Check yours it you have them!
