Marine Faucets
I have a 1987 2827 Voyager and I need to replace the head and front birth faucets. Wondering if there is a special marine faucet that should be used or an RV type faucet? Or can I use any type of faucet? Are the water supply connectors the same? Not looking for anything fancy, just a single lever faucet to replace what is there. Faucets are leaking a little and I think they are original to the boat.

Re: Marine Faucets
On my refit I used standard faucets. I did replace the counters with granite, so I had the ability to use whatever I wanted. The connection fittings were the same.
The hole spacing may be different, but you can always drill new holes so long as the new one covers the unused old holes.

Re: Marine Faucets
Any faucet will do. Hook up on faucets over the years have changed so you may have to install an adapter fitting but it's doable. Take note of the mounting, ie; one hole, or 2 or 3, and measure the centers to ensure the new ones will fit, then pick a model you like that will work based on your observations. If you can take the old faucets with you when you purchase the new ones, even better so you have something you can then pick the correct adapters to fit the plumbing on the boat to the new faucets.

Re: Marine Faucets
X2 on any faucet working. And check out your nearby ReHabitat Store - lots of folks are re-doing kitchens and bathrooms these days and you can find a great deal on a nice faucet somebody didn't like. I got a nice, almost-new $200 Moen faucet for $25 when I re-did my galley countertop at ReHabitat:
