Sink Strainer for Island Gypsy

[JILLBROWN]

We have an Island Gypsy 32 with a single sink in the galley. I need to replace the strainer. Are the sinks a standard size? I tried a 1 1/2" to 2" rubber plug but it doesn't fit. As to how I wash dishes, I keep turning them around and wiping them off in the tiny sink until they're clean and dry them on a sink mat.

The strainer on our IG is a standard, bar sink size. Also the size of a wash room sink. Smaller than the standard kitchen sink. About one and a quarter inch.

When we first got our boat I swapped out the 5" deep sink with a 10" deep same brand. Made a big difference in usability.

We have what I think is the original strainer which also acts as a plug and is rotated to allow drainage. The one in the head basin is similar but smaller. Without measuring, looks like about 2.5 inches across. Not long ago I had to do a s/steel wire winding to re-secure the plastic knob on the shaft.
I think you just have to measure up and visit your hardware store to get separate strainer and plug.

Does this look like it?

They are typically standard size "bar sink" strainers on most small boats until large enough to accommodate standard sized "kitchen basket" strainers.
