stumped - partial freshwater pressure & pump wont stop running
#1
Hello everyone - stumped on a fresh water pressure issue on my '06 3200. I have only a dribble coming out of both galley sink and head sink. Head shower has prefect pressure. Galley sink will provide proper pressure ONLY if I click the button on end of faucet that changes to shower spray pattern. I cant figure out why I only have a dribble coming out of faucets all other times.

My 2nd freshwater pump (larger of two) also continues to run and build pressure. It never seems to build then stop, just keeps going. The 1st (smaller) water pump will also run but kicks on far less frequently to build pressure. 
 
Any ideas?

Steps taken so far:
1) replaced one of two freshwater pumps
2) cleaned fresh water strainer cup, verified tight
3) replaced the whale water plumbing tubes and connectors around the new pump
4) emptied fresh water tank, refilled until water coming out of vent multiple times 
5) thought it might be clogged vent so ran vacuum backwards and put on vent to see if I could force air back down vent tube, didnt help 
6) tried turning off hot water heater valves, didnt help 
7) connected city water inlet at transom, didnt help 



totally stumped. any help appreciated
