On my 270 I turn on the galley pump for fresh water and can hear pump running and confirm pump is running in engine bay. I turned on all 3 faucets and zero water only a spit of antifreeze from last season winterized. I fill with fresh water just to level out boat and now I want to empty the tank before I pull boat for season . All the valves are on - thoughts ? Thank you

    First, make sure you have water in the tank. Try to bleed the hot water heater at the valve. Sounds like you might have air in the system.

    Aero3113 thank you for quick reply- I'm figuring also air in system- unfortunately I have no hot  tank it was eliminated a few years ago. Thank you

    Check the strainer between the tank and the pump. Mine has a clear cover and I can see if there is air or water in there. If mine has air, I can crack the cover open to let the air out and prime it.
