MY fresh water pump (sink &Shower) has stopped working- contrary to the owners manual stating it is accessible it seems someone at the factory decide under the floor was better, so now I need to remove a few large items to gain access -
1st question is does anyone have experience of how the water pump works? I have a deck switch - do I assume the pump has a flow switch or is permanently pumping when powered? likely to be serviceable? any likely problems on a works one day - dead the next scenario? fuse and switch are both OK.
IF I have to lift the very large floor panel and remove the helm seat/ cooker/ storage console then I was going to relocate the gas cylinder. Currently its under the helm seat/cooker but it is a B'ache to turn on/off the gas. IF I move the cylinder to the only other space in the engine bay - will this be a problem? It has been noted that extreme heat of the engine hatch may be unsuitable for a campinggaz cylinder. a few weeks ago Mrs BB was moaned at for shoving a bag of self lighting BBQ coal in there and it got VERY warm indeed. Ive no idea if anywhere near self combustion temp but gave us food for thought at least. and is any leakage of gas with petrol fumes/ fire safety likely to be compromised? Having seen one boat explode once this year Im thinking that having a gas tank above a fuel tank, next to an ignition source may not be a good idea.
