Sink drain part

May be a long shot, but has anyone seen this part (below left) available.  My sink drain consists of a standard type of strainer basket with male threads below.  Attached to that is a plastic hose barb for a 3/4"hose, (left), a rubber gasket to seal it to the basket (center) and a nut to lock them both to the bottom of the strainer basket (right).

The hose barb has a stepped flange that is made to fit and lock in the 1-3/4" nut ID.  That is the part that is broken, the barb is broken off.  Would love to find just that but haven't, and more than likely will have to replace everything.

The Hutchins parts list has a forespar SW-7 which is not what I have, different dimensions and I think my sink has a different hole dimension.

Could probably reduce down from the strainer basket with some PVC fittings but as you know, you need that clearance below the sink for the bend of the drain hose, otherwise the bend is too tight and it will not slide in and out easily.  The current setup is tight to the bottom of the sink.

About had it with this sliding sink, want to replace it with a permanent mount sink cabinet on the starboard side against the cabin bulkhead, but no time for that now, want to fix what I've got.

Replaced the sink drain and strainer on my 27. Went to an RV store and goth the exact same part for 1/3 of what they wanted in the local marine supply store (won't tell you the name but I'm sure you can guess it) LOL. Works like a charm.....

A good lead, I've done the same thing at Camper World.  Got a Shurflo pump inlet strainer for about 1/3 of the delivered cost from that marine supply store you more than likely were referring to.  Exact same thing.   Think I may just remove the basket, get the id on the sink cutout and see what I can do replacing the whole thing.

IMHO-- the sliding sink is a weak link in the 23 interior. I would somehow design a fold down or other semi-sturdy design to replace it.
