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

[John Van Vessem]

Steve,
 
I had the same problem when I inadvertently let my tanks run dry.  After I filled them up I had to run the pump for quite a while before it caught.  I think if you let the pump run long enough it will catch.

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!
