Hi Neil,

Our (1974 C&C 30-1) sink and starboard cockpit rain was run exactly as you 
describe yours. 

While our boat was out last winter we had thru-hulls and seacocks replaced. The 
company doing that work informed me the shared arrangement would not pass 
survey and is no longer permitted by ABYC. So, we separated sink and cockpit 
drains and now have an additional thru-hull. 

Ours was installed without an elbow but with a slight sideways S bend to create 
a bit of a p-trap with drain running to a new thru-hull at the aft port side of 
the cabinet below the sink. This is better for storage in the cabinet but worse 
for accessing the seacock. Overall I’m very happy with the install, feeling 
slightly safer knowing that some very unlikely freak accident will not cause 
cockpit to drain into cabin via galley sink.

Happy to send a photo of new drain, seacock, thru-hull under galley counter 
next time I’m at the boat.
