The big project was the overhaul of the Weber 4-barrel, which was a pleasure to work on. The fresh water system fix did not go as well.
The pump had power but did not turn. Most of the time was spent waiting for the water to siphon out (1/4" hose an not much head made that a slow go). The pump is a Jabsco 42510-0000, made in China. I was hoping to lube the bearings and get it running, but no such luck. The nipple broke off when I tried to pull off the discharge hose. Then the body broke when I tried to unthread the pump from the water tank. So much for Chinese plastic.
The new pump is on order from an RV place. I can't wait for the warm weather - no more carburetor problems and water in the cabin when I camp on the boat next season.
