[C320-list] C320-list Digest, Vol 2182, Issue 1

[Lee, Cliff]

Doesn't really sound like a pump problem.  1) Inlet screen may need cleaning to ensure good prime.  We often need to do that every spring to get a good prime.  2) pump coming on at night may just mean a small leak somewhere.  We had a small pinhole leak in water tubing.  Easiest thing to do till fixed was to turn pump off when not needed.  That has actually become our preferred approach to keep boat bone dry. 3) Foreward/Aft tank faucet spitting just sounds like Foreward tank is low.

Of course, those could all be wrong and you might need a new pump!  Good luck.
