Hi, my Tiara 2900 has a 30gal freshwater tank and a freshwater water pump.
When I'm connected to shore water, I have full pressure. When I disconnect and turn on
the pump (I can hear it and feel it) it never builds up pressure, nothing comes out of the
taps.
There is cap with a screen, I turned off the water supply valve and checked it, it was empty.
I then opened the water supply valve and water came up and out of the screen, I assume this is gravity fed from the water tank (which is full).
After replacing the screen(filter) and turned the water on, the pump kicks on and is supposed to shut off when it reaches pressure, it never stops, and no water flows.
Could it be a bad pump?
Also, can't seem to find the freshwater tank in this boat, the waste tank is in the engine room next to the port engine, but no such tank on the starboard side.
Looking for tips, thanks in advance.
