Default I don't have a leg to stand on!

Thanks for all the expert help on my potentially shocking problem!
Yes, the pump is a 220 volt and everything had been shut off for the winter. The pump primed but was running slow and not developing pressure. Not having a meter or many tools with me was frustrating, I will be bringing most of Home Depot with me when I return next week.
I did not know that cartridge fuses can’t be tested for continuity, I thought that was how you checked them to see if they were bad. At any rate I think they cost around $3.00 so its probably best just to replace them.
I called the co-op and they are sending someone out to check their equipment as evidently there were some downed trees over the winter that may have messed up their stuff.
It seemed odd that every GFI outlet would not work even after being reset (the outlets were completely dead) and I assume that means the ground is missing or leaking, though the later seems unlikely as everything was working fine when camp closed last fall. Then again, squirrels have munched on my telephone lines in winters past.
If the co-op says their equipment is OK then I will call in the electricians. If the co-op finds a problem with their equipment, then my fellow Cow Islanders will be all set by the time they open their camps.
Either way I’ll let you know what the problem was once I have both my legs back!
