My bus partner took off to Anacortes, Wa this weekend with the GF to take in some cruising in the San Juan islands.

He discovered that the water pump doesn't appear to be functioning as the sinks and toilet do not fill with water though the water pump light is lit.

The boat was just in for major surgery and I don't recall using the pump after 'Beulah' was reintroduced to the water.

What can I offer in the way of troubleshooting to get the water pumpin' again? I suggested that they take it easy on the libations over the weekend and the pee over the side but that's just not going to work for the GF.

Thanks.
 
First things first... 1. Can you/he hear or feel the pump running? 2. Any chance the tank is dry? 3. "Major work "?- All lines secured? You havent mentioned what he has done so far in the way of trouble shooting, so somebody had to ask!
 
He ended up getting a tech out this morning who replaced the water pump.
