I started by removing the teak fiddle and the original faucet/shower fixture, the whale foot pump spigot and the stainless steel sink from the vanity top. Removing the fixture left a large rectangular hole as shown here.
. I plugged this using a scrap of 1/2 inch marine ply that was shaped to fit the hole and then epoxied in place using thickened West System epoxy.
A trip to a local custom kitchen and bath cabinet shop proved fruitful in obtaining a small piece of laminate cutoff for short money that was to my liking, After roughing up the original laminate with 60 grit on my random orbit sander this new laminate was applied over the original using contact cement.
A new Scandvik faucet with integrated shower head was purchased from Defender and a liquid soap dispenser for shower gel to mount on the new vanity top was purchased from ACE Hardware. The original Whale spigot for the foot pump was cleaned up and retained for reuse.
The new laminate was cut to accept the sink and the holes for the whale spigot and the soap dispenser were cut using appropriate hole saws.
The sink, fixtures, spigot and soap dispenser were installed as shown here.
The the original fiddle was reattached and the screw holes were plugged with teak bungs. I also added 3/8" x 3/8" teak quarter round molding to the back and left side of the vanity top.
This is the completed project.
Total cost of the makeover was approximately $150 and took 5 man hours exclusive of varnishing. Best of all, the Admiral likes it. :-)
