Low water pressure


Skip, Have you checked the faucet aerators? Your shower also has a screen located before the showerhead.

Hate to revive an old thread, but I'm having similar issues, but only in my head. My shower and my sink are trickling out water but I have great pressure elsewhere.
Where can I locate these strainers on a 2013 31PC? I want to clear those. I tried hooking up the water hose to the back of the boat to see if I'd get better pressure, but I do not.

Not sure how to take the aerator off of the faucets/shower heads, but I'll give that a look too.

The aerator just screws off the end of the faucet, soak it vinegar for an hour or so and rinse to clean. You'll want to test the water flow with the aerator off to verify that's the problem. I'm not sure about the shower but I assume you remove the whole shower head and soak it in vinegar.
 
I had the same issue, with my 2015 34 PC. IF you have the shower wand, it does come apart. I took it off the hose and disassembled off the boat, fairly easy to do. Not sure which sink you're talking about, but as Afratki says, my galley sink aerator just screws off. The sink in the head is a little more tricky. There is an allen screw in the back of the handle that must be loosened to remove it, then you can use a wrench to take out the faucet cartridge, this allows you to backflush the aerator. Reverse the process to reassemble. Not real difficult, just a little messy.

Thanks! I'll look into it. The sink in the head is where my problem is. It looked hard to disassemble but what you said makes sense. I'll go check it out next weekend.
 
I had a lower pressure issue and it turned out to be a screen on the city water hose inlet right at the boat side connection. It was a little clogged and sediment filled like concrete.
