[C320-list] Shower pump

[Jerry Brown]

Hi

On Hull 925 when I owned it, I had to clean the filter and prime at the 
beginning of each season by setting the valve to the shower drain position 
and then pushing a hose onto the shower drain and forcing water up to the 
pump as it would not self prime.  Once it had been primed at the beginning 
of the season it seemed to hold the prime till the fall haul out.  If it 
stopped working I just repeated.

Regards

At the risk of stating the obvious, I assume you have the sink head  inlet 
open, as I believe it is also the shower outlet .  Also the Y valve dictates 
whether you pump the fridge or shower sump.

Shower/fridge pump not sucking.  Checked all the hoses. Blowing and sucking. 
Took the Jabasco apart now 4 times and still now success.  Motor works & 
it's clean so I'm lost.  Think some aquarium pumps would work better than 
this thing.... Arghhh   I read previous posts but believe its the pump but 
all the valves and diaphragms check out like new. Suggestions?
