Does anyone know if there is a shutoff for the sink drain in the head?
I had someone winterize the boat and now after water in the sink it will not drain and can't find a place where a shutoff would exist for that sink drain? Thanks

Can't imagine why it would. Doesn't it just drain directly overboard thru the hull side? Check your manual - there should be a diagram in there. Winterizing wouldn't have caused this issue - but a clog will... either in the drain or the thru-hull fitting.

I'm going try clearing the drain and if that does not work then the hull side.

I've never looked under the sink in your head. But, "usually", the drain hose is very short - you should be able to tell by either looking underneath or just observing (from the outside) where the thru-hull is in relation to the sink. Meaning, this should be very easy to figure out without much work.

The Owner's manual to my 2002 does not show any valve on that sink drain.

SOLUTION
There was no shutoff.
Took a hose and gave a few shots of water down the drain and it cleared the line.
The service tech recommend this idea to me via email. And it worked great!
