[C320-list] Jabsco head pump question

 Sounds like maybe the thru-hull intake is closed rather than open. Put it into the other position and then pump.

You can replace the entire pump assembly for $80.  Amazon has it here.

function (it goes up and down without too much effort), but I'm getting no water 
through the system. Even if I unscrew the holding talk to relieve air pressure.
