Catalina 320 San Francisco
Hi there,

I have a 1999 Catalina 320. I bought the boat two months ago and noticed the fresh water pump was kicking in every 20 minutes or so. I traced the connections and figured there was a slight leak in the exit of water heater. I replaced it over the weekend and it was gone. But then I went out anchoring over the weekend but I could hear the fresh water kicking in a few times over the night in my sleep (2-3 times I could notice). Now, I don't see any leaks anywhere, would this be normal? I mean, should I assume the fresh water pump would never kick in except for turning on the water pump if there is no leak? I am not too concerned about it as it happens very rarely but it is just annoying so would like to hear experiences.

Thanks in advance.

There was just a long discussion on this very topic last week.
