OK so the U_Boat is going to have a human type person staying on it a bit more. Heres just one of the problems. Water Pressure? NEIN!! Either the water pump is dead or the electrical going to it. I think I can figure this much out. My question? Is there a way I can modify my current system so that it can be hooked up to a hose coming from the dock so that I can have water pressure that way? I would also like the ability to disconnect from the dock and rely on my water pump when I'm away. Any ideas?

Sure,
You could add a tee fitting and a couple ball valves with one side of the tee going to a hose fitting so you shut off the ball valve from the pump to the faucet, open the ball valve to the hose fitting, connect a garden hose and you have water at the tap. The problem is if the hose springs a leak and fills up your boat with water and it sinks. Only you can decide if you want to take that risk.

The Shore-side Water Pressure Is More Than Your Ships Plumbing Might Be Able To Handle. It Is Always Recommended To Put A Pressure-limiting Valve On The Shore Water Supply.
