Eric,

About the fresh water pump. I’m assuming you have the in tank pump. Sometimes after so many years, well I don’t blame it, it gets reluctant to turn.
Probably partial due to age and also maybe a bit of dirt in the pump impeller.

If you delve into the tank, access via rear cubbie and then the big white screw in port, you can pull the pump out and look at the end, the input. You can try encouraging it to spin ( someone turning tap on at sink ) with fingers or pokey thing.

Often it will start, and work for rest of season. But might be a sign to save up for new one :-)

Oh all this assumes you are getting power to the pump. Determining that is easy peasy for you
