[C320-list] fresh water pump

[Robert Seastream]

Does the water flow OK from the head sink faucet and (if equipped) aft  
deck swim shower sprayhead?  If flow OK, I say clogged galley faucet.   
If flow not OK, check the pump inlet filter.  If that filter isn't  
clogged, check the pump thus:  Turn off the breaker, disconnect the  
hose from the pump outlet side and have someone turn the breaker on  
for a second.  If no water gushes out, bad pump.  Given your hull  
number, I wouldn't be surprised (or feel bad), if the pump has retired.
