Hi, my boat is "Molly Brown", 1980, 33Ft. I and two other partners are new owners. We've been working on big problems to get her into shape. It seems the remaining problem is leaking from the fresh water system. I'm pretty sure of the culprit: taste, only happens when fresh water is turned on, fixed rudder through hull leaks. It's pretty serious--fills up my bilge every half hour calling on the pump to do its job. I don't have any boat manual except for the Yanmar engine. I know there is a fresh water tank up under the forward berth, but according to former owner, this was not used. Maybe if a manual exists that could help me understand/find the system components, I could start dismantling things. I get good hot water in both galley and head siinks, same with cold water. I don't see any water in the compartment in the cockpitg where the hot water unit lives and also the head waste container (head unit empties and fills o.k.).
Thanks for being here! Tom Luce, Berkeley

Thanks!

Many thanks, Steven.

Do you have any drawings of the water system? 1980-1984, there must be some similarity.

Thanks again.

Tom
