Have you located the filter before the water pump? Not sure where they were placed on the port tank boats, but in the Stb tank boats, the filter is just before the water pump. Also you might try and blow low pressure air back thru the intake hose from the water tank, to dislodge any debris in the line, if there is any debris. |
Bob:
Here is a photo of the pump and filter (located under the galley locker).
Quick question: how do you remove the filter? It looks like the see through part should unscrew to show the filter element but I haven't been able to get it off with a reasonable amount of force. How do you get to the filter to clean it? Thanks, Roy |

| It is hard to remove. If you use channel-lock, you risk cracking the housing. I have used the non-skid mat but arthritic hands or tight location of the pump may be difficult. Try a small band-type wrench, with rubber to wrap around the housing. |
