I filled up my water tank, forgetting that there was antifreeze in it from the winter. We pumped it out...I was at the pump out, using a clean connector with the suction used for you know what, and then refilled it. Now, the water pump runs, and there's some spurting at the faucets, but no water. Any suggestions? I did it all with the "water" cap off in the anchor locker. What did I do wrong.

First off, you've contaminated your entire fresh water supply system with e.coli and who knows what else. Touching a holding tank pump out to your fresh water supply system is a very bad idea. Your first order of business is to "debug" the system. A mild solution of chlorine bleach will do very well for this. You probably damaged the check valves in the water pressure pump by drawing a partial vacuum on them. If it is the kind that can be dismantled, I would do so and inspect it for valve operation.
