Its just a simple adaptor to make and would probably be useful later anyway...this is my thinking.....from looking at the schematic, putting water in at that point would prove the system from there all over the boat and if it is all ok then the deduction would be the leg with the inlet regulator is the problem, maybe the reg,....( that seems to be the only thing that has been touched).... who knows, it might only be a foot or it could be 15 feet of tubing and fittings.....he already knows his fresh water pump side works fine and has owned the boat for some 14 years.
Tom .....yup I never thought of a washing machine hose ...good one...lets see what he says....
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

I just went through this on a Silverton. Disconnect the water intake valve from the boat. Connect a hose to it and run water. If you get good water pressure then follow the water line from that connection to the next connection. Disconnect that and look for flow. Then continue procedure until you find the stoppage. My problem turned out to be the regulator on the transom. Remember, just because you bought a new regulator, doesn't mean it's any good.
