Where's my fresh water pump?

Sometime ago, my water system was turned into raw water system... This was fine on the great lakes, but now I am in the Gulf and I don't want sea water in my head and sinks.
I have not had much luck finding the water pump used for the head and sinks. Everything has been routed to the wash-down pump.
1978 F-32.

I'm not sure about the F32. On the F26 the freshwater pump is under the V berth.

It should be close to your water tanks . Could it have been removed due to the raw water set up ?

Usual position would be under the cockpit flooring (pull the aft hatch), mounted on top of the fresh water tank that is in between the fuel tanks.

As per Captainmaniac my F32 is between the fuel tanks above the water tank

Thanks. Can confirm it is not there. Probably removed when the washdown pump was added.
The washdown is 4 GPM and I think its a little strong for the sinks and head. I'll probably be making this my next project.
There is a pump under the galley sink. Im thinking its the shower drain. Is that on-demand? Or manual?

Yes. Shower drain pump should have a switch in the head. Ours is right below the switch for the fan.
