[C320-list] water pump keeps cycling on

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

Normally the constant recycling of the water pump means a small water  leak.  
As it leaks, the pressure goes down to a point where the pump comes  back on 
to rebuild the pressure.  The first thing I'd do is check all the  faucets for 
a small drip (don't forget the outside shower) and all the  fittings...one  
is probably not tight/sealed.
 
When I got my boat, I thought the valves were stuck.  However, they  were 
just very stiff, once I got them moving, all was okay.
 
15mm is 1/2" when it comes to those fittings....but, technically, they are  
15mm.

Hello,
I recently bought a 1995 320 and find that the water pump  keeps turning on 
for a few seconds about every thirty seconds.  I've  searched the archives, but 
can't find this addressed anywhere.  The  shutoff valves are located under 
the sink.  I think this is a good thing  as I saw the discussion about moving 
them there.  However the forward one  is frozen in the open position and the aft 
one in the closed position.  I  can not seem to find anywhere that has these 
particular valves.  I found  some that say they are 15mm, but my diagram says 
they are 1/2 inch.
Any  information will help.  Thank you.  Holly
