Updating faucet on cockpit sink

[JYurgo]

Has anyone updated there faucet at their cockpit sink? My 280(2001) has the crap plastic one. I see that SR upgraded the faucets on the newer 280's. Just curious if anyone had upgraded theirs and where you got the faucet. I found that Defender had a decent selection. Thanks.

I updated a faucet on a previous boat and used this web site.

If it's a hot and cold faucet, every one I've seen uses a standard 4" center set.
I replaced all three faucets in the cabin with brused stainless Moen faucets. As long as you select a non-corroding material, like stainless or chromed brass they'll hold up at least as well as a "marine" faucet.

The only thing I've found true about the "marine" faucets is that they're way overpriced and still a plastic POS.

Replacing the faucets was the first thing I did with my last two SRs. I just went to Home Depot and bought what looked good to me.
