Hi, i'm a new owner of a 2001 monterey 282 and am trying to solve a few problems on board.The water tank is full but i keep getting lots of air and few drops of water from all taps.The head system seems to be working fine.Any ideas solving the problem will help,thanks.

Yesterday was the first time i put her to sea ater all the paperwork i had to go through here.I'm in love with my monterey.She was going 42m with 2500rpm.

Hello Peter,

If the boat has been sitting unused, the lines are most likely full of air and the water pump needs to be primed. Make sure the main breaker for the freshwater system is turned on...open your taps to allow the air in the lines to escape and fill themselves with water so your pump can gain some pressure. Can you hear the water pump running?

Problem solved...(forgot to answer back).The water filter had a crack that could be identified only when taken apart.Replaced filter and water pressure is back.It's a nice feeling when you solve the problem on your own at low cost.
