[C320-list] water system hose clamps

[Pat Moriarty]

More than likely if you take the pump apart and rinse it out then put it 
together the problem will go away. I had a motor home for years and this 
was always the problem. If you have the smallest particle in the pump it 
will leak back and loose pressure and come back on to build pressure. Only 
once did I find anything but it always worked after cleaning. Advantage of 
a motor home is you can see a leak under it but a boat has water in the 
bilge what is new.
