[C320-list] water pump keeps cycling on

[Paul Rickman]

Holly,
 
If your water pump keeps turning on and off, it is most likely a small leak some place.  Either a facet is dripping or one of the 
fixtures or a small hole in one of the tubes.
 
If your valves are stuck, or frozen call Whale. These are under warranty for 10 years but they may still replace yours. If not
you can special order them from West Marine. Ask Whale where you can get them. Just Google whale water system or quick connect plumbing. I'm not sure about the size. According to the West Marine catalog, the tubing is either 15MM or 5/8". These
are a snap to replace.

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
