Re: Dock water supply
It is my understanding older Carvers have an in line check valve right after the inlet unlike the all in one Shurflo unit on mine.

You haven't mentioned in any post whether the water pressure is okay or just as low when operating from your on board water tank. This makes a difference in the diagnosis process.
Hans suggested checking pressure at the dock pedestal, have you confirmed it yet?
Can you post a picture of your old original inlet fitting? This is important as we shouldn't assume it's factory original given there is more than one way of plumbing a regulated dockside water inlet system.

Have you checked that the seal is still in place? Same round rubber ring one finds in a regular garden hose setup.

I did and it was so I replaced. Still leaking where the metal fitting screws into the hose end. Thanks
