C28 potable water pump

Quick question. Can somebody please give me a heads up on where to access the house water pump in a Cutwater 28? I'd appreciate the head start. Time to have a look at what I presume will be an integral filter...

In the Cave (mid-berth) you need to pull the wall off that is towards the bow of the boat. The water pump and tank is pretty much under the captains seat.

you will need to unscrew a few screws in the starboard panel and it pulls away. easy once you have done it the first time. I dont need to remove the cusion to do this. its basically underneath the throttle assembly and right of the water tank to give you a sense of the location

The photo above shows the pump location. The pump is fwd of the water filter. Remove monkey fur bulkhead. I cut a hatch in the bulkhead to get a quick access to the filter and pump gallery2.php?g2_itemId=47209&g2_imageViewsIndex=1

Thanks guys. Brian has a nice set-up with his new hatch and whole house filter. I'll crawl in there and see what I can do. Yet another example of not building for what is going to be routine maintenance. I figured it was a deep dive in the cave but helpful to see that it is close to the port side.

Thanks Brian.

I was looking to start working on my water system and came across your post and thank you so much. I also have a covered 26 and this will help a lot.
Would you know the make and model of the water filter?
Thanks and advance have a great day!
