Can someone video the water output of your hotwater shower system?

Water comes out of mine like a limp willy. Something is fubar....I think. Like to see what other pumps are producing. Did an archvie search and found nothing related to R&R the pumps. Can I really be the first person?

Thanks!

What kinda pump did you put on? Was it the heater craft kit?

Factory setup on a 97 196. Boat is new to me...sorting out stuff.

Should come out pretty decent so long as all connections are tight. can u take the spray head off? My guess is it might be clogged with lake junk and mineral build up.

...that's sort of what I figured. I likely just disassemble the whole thing and try to blow it out.

I have yet to see anything on the pump itself...if there's an impeller or something that can be replaced. Any ideas?

Idling the flow is usually very poor. Rev to 2000 rpms and the flow should be good if not clogged.

K. Tried this, no love. I have pressure (when I shut off, turn on i get a good burst) but no volume. Pump doesn't sound real good.

Looks ok here...not clogging at the head...

Must be the pump or water supply then. U could trouble shoot the pump by taking off it's input source and sticking that in a bucket of water to see how she pumped. If that's it order a new pump, if not recheck connections for air leaks. This is what I'm using:

Well, did a bit of a field strip and observed some issues.

- scaling in the hot water feed, mostly at the temp mixing value. Think I blew most of that out.
- pinched with a zip tip cold water feed. Pulled the zip tie out but the hose still has some amount of kink in it

Generally, I get decent hot water feed but the cold water feed is spurty.

I can clearly hear the pump generate pressure...shut off...then turn on when I release the valve. But I seem to have some sort volume problem. Next is to pull the temp mixing valve and out inspect it closely.

Where does one look for leaks? I did tighten up / verify all the clamps were tight. Nothing discovered there.....
