The sink drain is made of standard plumbing parts, available at any hardware store. This unfortunately means that the drain tailpiece is a very thin tube of chrome-plated brass. Keep an eye on this, as it will corrode in the marine environment. This could result in a large amount of water inside the boat.
It is, however, 1-1/2 inches in diameter, the perfect size for a 1-1/2 inch hose.
The through-hull is probably 1-1/4", if it's original size. To take a hose from it directly to the drain tailpiece requires an S-turn that I could not accomplish with hose intended for below-waterline use.
I used a 45 degree street elbow to replace one of these hose bends. I chose a 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 reducing elbow to accomodate an ordinary 1-1/2" hose barb.

South: The Endurance Expedition
Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a
lot of press in recent years. This is Shackleton's own account—quiet,
understated, and riveting. It also describes the travails of the Aurora
expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
