Guys, I have not taken a look yet but I had a funny thing happen this weekend. I used the hose connection for the first time on the transom all went well. sinks worked fine. When I disconnected I could not get the 12 volt pump to come on to supply pressure from the domestic water tank. I get no pressure. The pump didn't come on after I flicked the switch. The tank has water in it.

Anther question on the same subject- is there a check valve in that same supply line? If I connect up the boat at the hose on the transom how come the tank wont fill up and out the vent. maybe my check valve is stuck? This would certainly trick the pump's pressure switch.

Going to bring up a voltmeter when I got back to the boat to check the pump.

I have the same year and model as you. There is a shut off valve, it will be on one of the hoses coming out of the pump. Should be right under the starboard cushion from what I recall. Turn the pump on and leave your sink open and turn that with some pliers and hopefully you'll see the water come out and will be able to tell when its fully open by the flow from the sink faucet. On another note, might be a silly question, did you check the fuse?

Glad to hear it turned out to be an easy fix.
