RE: Replacing faucets on old boat

The brass to brass is not a compression fitting so, and I could be wrong here, but I'd do it more than hand tightened. I think you would do better to use a flex service line designed to attach to the sink as you would then have a compression fitting with a washer and if you get it tightened down a twist past hand tightened, it should not leak.
