No need to replace the faucet. Should be fixable with a new washer, just like faucet at home. Should you need to replace the faucet, one from Lowe's or Home Depot is fine. It's all standard plumbing at the sink, it's just the piping that is different.
Your boat, besides probably being lighter, is also not the aerodynamic hog that the TT is. Whether you need a weight distributing hitch depends on whether your tow vehicle sags in the back when the tongue weight is applied. A little bit is expected, but you don't want the front wheels being picked up.
Sway bars are another matter, although some WDHs use the same bars for anti-sway. You would know whether you needed either/both based upon the rig's handling as you tow. If the rear of the TV sags, it is likely to also cause a certain "directional instability," in the form of the trailer wagging the tow vehicle. This comes from the tongue weight lifting the front wheels a bit, as well as from the rocking/swaying of the TT itself. If your rig feels like it is trying to dart side to side, or you just feel unstable, then the weight distribution and/or anti-sway would be called for. If not, no need for them, as they are not free.
