let me know if i can be of further assistance.

Aaron,

It is definitely the marina. There are five docks, the boatyard and the main building running off the same main. We are at the end of that daisy chain. Oddly enough, I suspect one of your earlier suppositions was correct, vis a vis possibility of air in th eline. Pump is running much better now. Water pressure in the galley ios good again, and no more loud, chuttering protesting noises.

glad to hear that things are starting to resolve. i've found with my pump, the best thing to do is just let it run and get the air out. once that's done, she runs like a top.
