One of the updates that I wanted to do was to install a water filter for our drinking water.\u00a0 I thought that would be good to have as we would be going through some areas where the water content could be considered “questionable” as to how well it was filtered.\u00a0 \u00a0I had looked at just some simple type of filter like people have at home under their sinks.\u00a0 I had also looked at the more expensive marine systems like the Seagull filter.\u00a0 \u00a0While at the 2022 fall Annapolis boat show I visited a few booths to check out filter systems.\u00a0 \u00a0We found a cheaper product line that General Ecology makes called “Nature Pure”.\u00a0 \u00a0I decide to go with that product for installing in Sundog.\u00a0 We purchased the unit right at the boat show to take advantage of a boat show special.\u00a0 \u00a0I bought parts that I would need Fawcett boat supplies in Annapolis so I would have all that I needed once I had a chance to do the installation..<\/p>\n

While we were hauled out in Belhaven for our prop shaft replacement I took the time to perform the install.\u00a0 Like all boat projects this started with first an exploration of where to install the various parts and to figure out what tools I would need.\u00a0 \u00a0And of course the usual second step of another trip to the store to buy more tools and parts.\u00a0 In this case I had to purchase another hole saw bit for the faucet hole.<\/p>\n

I determined that I could drill in the corner of the sink to place the faucet so that we would have it right at the sink for filling pots, drink bottles, etc.<\/p>\n

I was able to mark and drill the location for the faucet using a template.\u00a0 I went half way to check the hole and placement before completing the hole.<\/p>\n

For fastening the faucet to the sink I need to cut a small block of marine plywood to place under the sink for a smooth surface.<\/p>\n

For the water filter location I choose to fasten it against the side wall of the small drawer unit.\u00a0 By placing it there I could open the tall door (used to get at the sink thru-hull) and be able to reach the filter for changing it or removal in the off season.<\/p>\n
