Bullet water pressure system leak
Have a leak when I turn on the switch for water pressure pump. When I removed the footrest at the helm, I was able to see the water spraying onto the fuel tank, but can't pinpoint the leak (there is no room between the tank and floor). I removed the head to see if I could find the hose.It looks like it is from the smaller clear hose with the red stripe that is running along the white corrugated hose. One end runs around the bulkhead to the helm and the other end runs along the holding tank and under the floor? Does anyone know where this hose runs to/from? I would like to fix this before comes time to winterize.

Wayne, are you speaking of the fresh water system, or the sea water pump for flushing the head? The fresh water pump is under the seat in front of the closet - it supplies water to the galley sink, the head sink, and the hose barb in the cockpit. The sea water pump for flushing the head is under the bowl.

It's the freshwater system I assume. As soon as I turn on the water pressure rocker switch that is on the panel in the cabin(is that switch for fresh or sea water), you can hear hear the lleak under pressure. The hose I am talking about is the smaller one with the red stripe that goes to the right (under the helm)with the big white hose and the grey cables,and is between the waste tank "T" and waste tank.

It turned out to be the freshwater pressure hose that goes from a distribution manifold,which is located behind the panel in the closet that is in the cabin underneath the switch panel. The hose feeds behind the bulkhead and runs under the floor( you can see it in the floor notch for the cabin door) to the stbd side, between the fuel tank and floor, then around the bulkhead to the sink faucet in the head. My problem is that the hose doesn't budge when pulling on it. That hose must have been laid in a crevise before the deck was put on and it's in there tight as hell. Anyone ever replace this hose or have any ideas on accessing it.
