While on the hook over the weekend, we noticed that our fresh water trickled out of the faucets, then some pressure for a few seconds then trickle again.
I called a service tech and he suggested trying to replace the bellow head on the fresh water pump (the motor was working fine).
After replacing the pump head, the pressure was a better but air keeps sputtering out of the faucets when running water. I also noticed that when all taps are off, the pump still hums softly and vibrates.
I checked for leaks at the manifold - it was dry. I then started looking for the accumulator bottle to check for leaks and could not find it anywhere.
Is the pump supposed to be completely silent when all taps are off?
Does anyone know if I should have an accumulator bottle, if so where is it?
What else could be causing my problems?
FYI: No issues when connected to marina water supply.
