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

[Jerry Brown]

I had a faulty pump from Shurflo on delivery.  They had a batch of faulty 
pressure sensors.  The dealer replaced a most of the pumps on the the 
Catalina's he delivered in spring 2009.  My hull number is much later than 
yours but if the pump dates from around 2008/9 then that may be the issue

Check the whale fittings.  Sometimes the hose is not all the way in and may 
cause a minor leak.
