Kitchen faucet leak on houseboat

[hooboo]

We've got a houseboat we live on full-time, and after just under 3 years, our Delta kitchen faucet started leaking at the plastic coupling. It's been through some rough winters, hot summers, and plenty of shifting from waves and wake. I'm guessing all that motion played a role, even though it's a good model. Anyone here found a faucet brand that holds up better in a floating home setup? I don't mind spending a bit more if it means longer life and fewer headaches.

@hooboo yeah, been there before. believe it or not, it's actually super common with boat living!
Vibration and constant movement really stress plumbing connections. You might want to look into brands designed for RV or marine use. They're built with more robust parts to handle the constant motion

I mean 3 years is pretty good if you ask me for the factory models that usually go in these things, so I think it lasted well enough. As for recommendations Scandvik or Whale make some great marine-grade faucets, so you might look into those.
