Fresh water question

[S Lightly Salty]

Below are pictures of the panel and helm. The only switches or breakers I see are the hot water breaker at the panel and the switch marked water at the helm. Are there others that I am missing.

Assuming that you have a clean filter at the pump and the pump has no sign of life:
If you turned on the 12 volt breaker for the fresh water pump and you aren’t getting anything out of the faucet and the pump itself isn’t running, then the first thing to check is to see if you’re getting power to the pump.
A cheap 12 volt test light can tell you if there is power at the pump.
If you are getting power there, then the pump is probably no good.
If you are getting no power there, then check the breaker to make sure you have power on both sides with it flipped.
Power on one side and not the other, then the breaker is no good.
Also, make sure the connections and connectors at the breaker are clean and tight.
This would also be a good time to take a few minutes to check the fuses in the panel to make sure you have power on both sides of each fuse.

I love how the older control/electrical panels look. Classic.

Find your fresh water pump and make sure it's getting power...... a few taps with a hard object might get it going again. Then replace at some point.

BTW that water switch needs to be in the on position.

And secondly looking at your panels it looks like the boat is getting power (upper panel)..... but not your lower panel. At least by the pictures no lights are illuminated on the lower panel where they should be.

Pump should be getting 12 volt power when the switch marked “Water” at the helm is in the on position.
The “Hot Water” switch is on the 110 shorepower panel. That’s a whole different power system and the fresh water pump is not on that one. Flipping the “Hot Water” switch on when connected to shorepower will simply turn on the Hot Water Heater. You’ll still need the 12 volt “Water” switch at the helm turned on to energize the Fresh Water Pump so you get pressure at your faucets when drawing water from your Fresh Water Tank and not connected to the dockside water.
If you are connected by hose to the dockside water you will get pressure from that hose to your faucets and should keep the 12 volt “Water” switch off.
Your first step should be to take a 12 volt test light and see if you’re getting power to the fresh water pump with the “Water” switch turned on.

Note, don’t turn on the hot water heater until you have turned on all the hot water faucets and flushed some water through the system. This will ensure the hot water tank is full, and has some water to heat. I turned it on, don’t recall if I was using the generator or shore power, but i realized later the tank was no longer working. I had to open the access panel on the hot water tank, find the reset button, and push it. It tripped when the tank overheated from not having water covering the heating elements. Fortunately, we were at a marina/Marriot hotel with full access to shower/spa. Took awhile to figure out what happened since any time you run the engines, the hot water from the engines is routed through the tank to produce some hot water for you.

Good advice!
