[C320-list] cycling water pump

[Bill Culbertson]

Herb,

When you say you took out everything including the drawers, did you also remove the 5 screws holding the woodframe for the cabinetry in place and remove the woodframe as well?  When I do this, I have easy access to everything under the sink area.  FWIW, I use the trap door to toggle the sink seacock (and my A/C seacock since I had it put in next to the sink seacock).  I never leave the boat with seacocks open and that door makes it hand to change them.

I have found a small leak in a pipe under the sink and near the stupid trap door that is too short to access the problem.  When water pressure is on the pump cycles about every thirty seconds and if we leave it on it will get damp to wet under the sink.  It is very inconvenient but I have not figured a way to stop the leak.  I took everything, including the drawers out but could not remove the old pressure hose that was leaking.  Maybe you are having the same problem.  I'd love to fix it but don't know how, I bet if that stupid trap door was taller I could access it and easily remove it.  Anybody have an idea, even a way to seal the leak without replacing the hose, I'm all ears.  I had a similar leak on the hot side when the boat was new, but that was on the other side near the front and I was able to access and easily replace the pressure hose.

Sincerely,
