[C320-list] Another fresh water problem

[Joe Barrett]

The same thing happened with my macerator pump. I had put in a new quieter
pump and left it on when leaving the boat. Jabsco sent me a rebuild kit and
I replaced the impellor which had no paddles remaining on it. Works great
now.

I have a 94 hull #30 and my water pump went bad about a year ago.  It just
started running all the time and would not self prim anymore.   It was a
Shur flow diaphragm pump. I called the company and tehy told me that after
10 years the rubber parts just wear out. 
 
I picked up a rebuild kit at west marine for about 1/2 the cost of a new
pump and rebuilt teh old one.  Has been working great for about a year and a
half now.

 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
