I was on the boat yesterday getting ready to be pulled for the approaching hurricane.  I noticed a leak from what looks like the pressure switch or perhaps the pump itself.  I tightend the screws, didn't help.  Didn't have time to investigate more.  Is there a gasket that maybe failed or should I be looking for a new pump.

Not sure of the name or model.  Came with the boat, may be original.

Ken : Most of the new fresh water pumps have an "O" ring on the inlet and outlet attachment hoses.  You might want to first disconnect that leaking hose and clean that end - then reattach.

Jut to follow up it is a Sureflow pump.  Date stamp 1989, probably original to the boat.  Cracked pump housing.  New one on order.
