'98 355 Aft Sink Faucet Mfgr

[gmac98004]

Hi Gang,

I've replaced the aft head sink faucet successfully with a much more functional Home Depot faucet.

However, the forward head sink faucet needs to be very short so that the mirror door can swing open. Fewer options.

So............I'd like to just replace the cartridge on that faucet. Does anyone know the manufacturer or even better, the correct cartridge to replace?

Thanks for any help!

Safe Journeys, Greg

I cannot help you with the manufacturer or cartridge number, but we had the same situation with our 396. Searched everywhere and even had to return two different ones we ordered online because the descriptions did not match the actual dimensions.

Anyway, we found one that would fit at IKEA. I did have to drill out a slightly larger hole in the counter top to get it to fit, but not a big deal. It was in black and was a plastic/composite material, but I figured that would just be less to worry about rusting. Best of all it was only only $25, which was about 1/3 - 1/4 of the price we paid for metal versions we installed in the master bath and the flybridge sink!

Here are some pics.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks so much for the great information! Although please don't make me take another trip to IKEA! Agreed that a lower cost faucet is not a liability on our boats especially if they are used for the short spans we are on the water.

I'll send completion photos when I'm done.

Many Thanks, Greg

I'm pretty sure the original faucets do not have replaceable cartridges.

Might help if you post a pic of the original faucet.
