My 1988 Whaler 27 has a Jabsco water pressure inlet. After running the freshwater pump for a short while water srarts squirting out of 2 small holes right next to the inlet. My pump does not cut off. I this a problem with my check valve and is it built in into the water inlet housing? Thanks

Sounds like the pressure reducing diaphragm has a hole in it. Most of the water inlet fittings function as a pressure reduction device to protect the boats plumbing.
