As far as I know the 2 pumps are there to minimize water pulsing when more than one faucet is being used.. each have a different capacity. This has been a subject of several posts on the forum.. I use both when using the internal water tank....M2C

The next time you are at your boat could you send me a pic of your pump set up. Previous owner sort of messed it up. Thanks. Jack

I have been wondering the same thing. Mine is a bit different. Both are fed from the freshwater tank and both will feed all the taps. The biggest difference is the pump sizes on mine. The larger of the 2 pumps is actually connected to an accumulator tank. The smaller 2nd pump never kicks on unless the "main pump" is switched off. I chocked it up to the smaller second pump as being a back up.
