[C320-list] Fresh water not pumping :-(

[Joe Barrett]

Hi Steve, I presume your pump is under the mattress in the aft cabin, Take
the mattress off and open the wooden cover to find the pump. Take the white
connector off the high side and open both tanks. Turn the pump on until
water flows, putting your thumb over the fitting seems to help prime it.
When water starts to flow reconnect the high side while water is still
flowing and you're done.

Good Morning ...
 
I was purging the water system of the winterizing pink stuff and let the
pump run dry for about a minute ... I turned off the water pump and refilled
both tanks.
 
Now, it won't pump water ... the literature says it can run dry and is
self-priming.  Any suggestions?   
 
BTW ...  boat is a 2005 model with very limited use ... 
 
Also, do the tanks flow to the same spot?
 
Thank you for the help!
