A new learning experience is coming my way. Out to the boat to do a little look-see fitment thing and had to go so I did.
What is that noise? Too loud for fridge, fans and blowers off...
Down to the engine room and it's the freshwater pump. Not hot, but running constant. Back to the bridge, shut off the pump breaker and all is well. When I return I'll hit all the tanks and find out which are dry and which are "reserve". Only thing I can think that would have the pump running constant with a pressure bladder on the loop, no water to lift.
God, I love boats! Always something new to learn and explore -
