Any connections made - any corrosion in there? Are you getting

Our water pump, which I believe was the original, just died last year and I
swapped it out. I wish I had done that sooner, the new pump is both quieter
and uses less aH

Stus-List Fresh water pump dead?

Hi Folks- I found that my fresh water pump was running continuously today and 
not pressurizing the system and not cutting out when pressurized.  I confirmed 
there was water in the tanks and flow to the manifold that controls tank 
choice.  But there was no water in the filter after the manifold and before the 
pump.  I removed the hose connecting the manifold/filter to the pump and when I 
sucked on it, I got water, so nothing appears blocked.  When I turned the pump 
on (Par-Max4), I could not feel any suction on the opening.  I presume these 
are self-priming pumps, so I should have felt some pull.  The pump is 30 years 
old, so I am presuming it is just dead, but wondering if there is any other 
scenario that might make it not work before I replace it.  Thanks- Dave

I ordered some from Mainesail, I’ll see how it compares to the roll I got from 
Worst Marine when it gets here.
