    Ran air into my water pump

    I had a functional water system. Accidentally ran one of my tanks dry, and then water pump wouldn’t shut off. Pulled air through it by mistake and noticed what I did and so I shut off the pump.

    Changing Impeller on Universal 5411

    Hello, I have a 1982 Catalina 27 with a Universal 5411 and I would like to change the impeller on it. I'm not having any problems with it but the previous owner is unsure when it was last changed. The water pump looks like it was changed at some point because it has the newer model Sherwood...

    Doing some research and figured I'd reach out to see if anyone here had any knowledge about this... I'm fixing up an O'day 28 that's been in the family for a few generations - seems like the fresh water pump is missing. All evidence leads to it having lived previously under the sink in the...

    Question about raw water pump on 3QM30

    Pump has had a slow leak for the past year, gradually worsening -- I need to bite the bullet and either rebuild it or replace. Thoughts? I've seen a few posts where people have done rebuilds, only to have it leak again months later... I hate to drop $300+ on a new pump but I'm beginning to...

    Water pump short cycling

    I have a standard water pump (for fresh water) in my Catalina C270. This season I noticed that the pump is short cycling (1-2 s period). In the past the cycles were much longer (10 s?). The difference this season is that I bypassed the water heater (I don't have much use for it and it never...

    Fresh water leak on MH40

    I recently took possession of a 2014 MH40. It has developed a leak in the fresh water system. It started slowly: pump coming on every couple hours. Today it started coming on every few minutes. I have looked everywhere I know there are pipes: under galley and head sinks, water heater, cockpit...
