[C320-list] Raw water pump question

[Don Poole]

Something doesn't add up in your explanation. The "lower opening of the
pump" is where the water line from the engine raw water inlet strainer
connects. If you "removed the raw water filter"  at the inlet sea cock
there could be no flow whatsoever to the raw water pump.
