I arrived back to the boat after work earlier this week and my wife greeted mw with the news that there was water in the engine room and that there was no pressure at the galley sink faucet. I checked out the water pressure elsewhere in the boat (faucets at the sinks in both heads) to find all was fine, so it was not the pressure pump.
We had some difficulty once before with the sprayer on the faucet. The rubber hose was protected by the spiral wind of a metal cover and I found a split in the rubber hose and water leaking down to the engine room beneath.
This time around, it turned out to be the OTHER end of the hose and that was much more difficult. Nothing in the documentation of the boat gave me any hint of how to get to the water and drain connections to the sink. As it turns out, there is a plywood cover box that houses the entire sink and drain area and that box is covered with acoustic protection. This was deduced after a lot of investigation.
So here is the chaos:
