Howdy all, new to Pearson and sailing.  So far love both.  Look forward to learning from you experienced folks.

Agree on replacing the pump.  It is pretty loud and appears to be the original pump with a pulley.  Replacing water lines for peace of mind knowing that the lines are clean and new.

Thank you.

Yes.  Mine does as well.  SB and port lines run into a tee, with a shutoff valve for each side.  I swapped the supply lines so that the port feed came into the SB side of the tee through and associated shutoff valve, thinking that maybe the port side valve under the sink failed but no luck.  I see the pump is pulling water within a couple inches of the shutoff valve, but doesn't budge beyond that.

I am replacing all water lines, valves and probably the pump since it is the original one with a belt.  Figure I replace it before it fails while everything is pulled apart.

Thanks for the input

I am new to my 32 Pearson and sailing.  I drained the SB water tank using the galley sink under pressure. The Port side tank will not drain.  Any suggestions?  I was thinking that there is a shutoff valve that I am missing but can't seem to find it.  Thanks

I have a 32 Pearson and took out the starboard tank and power washed the inside.  I am also replacing all the original water lines.
