I have a Fairline Phantom 50 (without a manual) and cannot get water from the taps (Worked yesterday). Switches and breakers appear ok and tank is full. Does the system need priming and if so how?

Can I access the pump? If so where is it and is there any point as DIY is not my strong suit!

While I am at it, where does one buy swim platform chocks for an Avon RIB, please?
 
Step one. Can you hear it running ? If yes then bleeding is a possibility. If not then you have and electrical problem ( or pump dead .

You may also have a switch on the helm to isolate pump. ( I do on my fl)

Tank will be roughly amidships and pump will not be that far from the tank.
 
On my boat there is a small push button to prime the water pump near the breaker , but usually only needed after prolonged absence .
Also in the E room a pressure guage on an expansion / accumulator tank near the actual pump .
It's not a F50 though .
My manual is in Italien so sympathise -but at least I have pictures / diagrams
