It appears that the shower head on the transom has "broken!" It doesn't flow well at all, but when I take it off, there appears to be good pressure. Could it need even more pressure to work correctly? I ran a wire through it and there were no clogs. Anyone have any ideas? This one has me puzzled.

Check that the hose isn't getting kinked when you pull it out. I find the one in our 348 does that now and then. I don't know if there's a specific 'fix' for it or not. Also consider that since the hoses are plastic there's the chance a kink will permanently weaken that point in the hose and cause it to kink more often in that same place. I've heard this trouble on various boats so it sort of comes with the territory. But I'd certainly be interested in suggestions for avoiding it.

You should be able to take it apart (I can take apart mine) If not, I bought one from the manufacturer for very little (about $30). Let me know if you need the manufacturer's name. (I would have to look it up)
