Need some help. Getting boat ready for Florida sailing season. Turned on galley faucet and it worked for awhile then pump stopped. No more water from galley faucet.
Tried faucets in head and aft shower and the pump does work fine for those faucets. Getting both hot and cold water.
Why would pump stop working when galley faucet is turned on ?
Appreciate any assistance.

If you get water from other locations and not at the galley, I would first check the strainer on the galley faucet. If no flow is created when you open the valve(hot or cold) the pump will not turn on. The strainer at the end of the faucet can clog and prevents any flow.

There are individual shutoff valves for the water system under the cabin sole in the bilge area. If one of these valves was turned off it would prevent you from getting pressure water to that individual faucet. I believe there is one specifically for the galley.

How simple this was. Just cleaned the strainer on the faucet !
Thank you all for the advice.
This board is so helpful !
Back to cleaning until I find my next "big challenge"
