[C320-list] Water System Pump Prime

[Bruce Heyman]

Gary,
I've never had a problem on the 320 but on other boats I've found that
opening and closing one of the faucets can help get the pump to prime.

Subject: [C320-list] Water System Pump Prime

Is there something special about managing the water system?  I just emptied
both tanks, and then refilled in an effort get some fresh water on board
before we start a 600 mile trip.     The water pump starts and runs, but
there is no water from the faucets.  Is there a process to re-prime the pump
or do I just let it run.....  Don't like the last thought.  I would hate to
burn up the water pump before we have a chance to sail our new (to us)
boat....

Thanks,
