[C320-list] Another fresh water problem

[David Cardoza]

My boat 2000 came with a small clear filter just as water enters the pump.
If it gets clogged this (and slow running water on the cold side) are a
symptom.  The filter twists open and it's just a fine mesh screen that needs
to be cleaned off.  Don't forget to turn off the water from the tanks

 List,
 
Thanks to all who responded to my "no forward so reverse" thread recently.
It turned out as some had suggested that the problem was a very fouled prop
with marine growth that had accumulated in less than 2 mos.  I've had the
boat in this location for 3 years and this is the worst growth I've
experienced.
 
Now to the new problem.  This weekend my fresh water pump began cycling
breifly about every 20 seconds.  I looked at all the whale fittings and they
were dry.  I didn't loook down the entire length of the tubing, but I think
it's unlikely to be a failure here.  Has anyone had a pump go bad and behave
like this?  Any thoughts as always will be appreciated.
 
Mike
