What fresh water pump are you running?

Had a great weekend on the boat, only issue is the shower is too weak. Probably is the original pump - what PSI are you running for your fresh water system and do you have a good shower pressure??

    @J3ff , before you change the pump, check the strainer. Also, the there’s a screen at the head that gets clogged also.

    I zoomed in on a pic I took yesterday, looks like 60 PSI(might be 50 PSI),3 gallons per minute.

    Same pump on mine as well.  

    I had good bathroom sink/also extends to shower head pressure.  I had no galley sink pressure.

    My screen on the sink was all corroded up.  A little cleaning with a tooth brush and all good again. 

    Something hit my washdown pump switch and i burnt up my wash down pump trailering to the lake.

    I ordered a seaflo 41 series and it's a diaphram style pump.  Has the same auto cut off pressure switch, rated 45 psi. It can run dry without burning up and is easily rebuilt.  Costs about 79 bucks shipped

    Will def look at the strainer and investigate the screens... thank you for that advice. If those look good I'll just get another. Both showers are kind of lame. Hopefully it's the strainer.

    My strainer was bad as I stated but also the screens on my faucets got all clogged up which I also replaced for a few dollars. You can just get them at the hardware store.
