1999 420 Passage fresh water system pump

[hughvr]

I am trying to find the fresh water system pump on a 1999 420 Passage. I think it needs replacing or a leak check since it keeps running every few minutes. It sounds like it is located in the main salon on the starboard side behind the speaker, but that doesn't seem right. Has anyone replaced one of these or know where it is?

If you don't have a mnaual for your boat, I'm sure there's one on the internet for you, maybe right on this website.

If you want to find it, locate your galley sink faucet and follow the hoses (or pipes) between the faucet and the water tank(s). Most boats of your size have at least two water tanks, as well as a manifold with shutoff valves to select one tank or the other. You could start there, too.

Most leaks like this are from loose hose connections. Or a blockage in the water hoses, or an old hose that has a break somewhere. I replaced all my hoses last year (1986), and the pump is just fine.

All fresh water pumps are pretty much the same, so find one on the internet, they have troubleshooting guides in all the manuals.

Good luck.

the 1991 was located on the center line at the base of the companion way stairs. Another 1991 I saw, had the pump towards the port side between the nav and the corner of the settee, the sediment filter and piping manifold was there as well.
