[C320-list] Strange water problem this weekend

[Pat Moriarty]

Everyone on the site will tell you to turn off the water tanks 
because you are all afraid of water getting in your boat, but the 
back tank can't flow up hill and the front tank is only a few inches 
above the filter on my boat. I would just remove the filter (which 
type you have I do not know) and see how much junk is in it and hope 
some water flow sthrough the lines to make sure they are clean 
of  trash then stick it back together and see what you have. Have you 
let the hot water heater fill yet? It is a huge accumulator and will 
give you some strange findings at the facets.
