Without a book for my boat, how am I going to know which wires under my center console are for my Bilge pump? Mine wasn't working this weekend and I HOPE it's only a fuse. It was quite fun coming back from the East end of the lake by everyone with my boat standing straight up and leaving one heck of a wake though. LOL How can I tell what the problem is? Pumps out or a Fuse
Check your fuse panel. If there are any blown fuses, replace it/them and try the bilge pump again. Can you get to the wires on the bilge pump? Put a meter on them to see if the circuit is open or closed.
Haven't had the chance to look at it yet Maj. Just remember WHO you talking to. I know what a Bilge pump is and what it does but have never had any dealings with them cept for turning them on and off LOL
Pull it up here to Burfordville Don. I'll check it for you.
Get Gene to take a look at it for you. He can find the problem and fix it for sure.
Ima take a look and see what I can figger out but that's gonna be a dang good option G
Turn it on and put your hand on it. If it humming, take the top off and clean out the trash. If it's not humming, get a test light and see if you have current running to it. If not, go to Duncan and buy a new boat.
+1 on the test light. You can check a lot of stuff with one, so go to an auto parts store & buy one. 12v it looks like an Ice pick with a wire with a clamp on the end, then call me i'll walk u through itQuote:

Don't forget to grab more duct tape when you pick up the test light
Think I'll stick wif my boat. LOVE IT, got plenty of room for the wifey to lay out in a bikini when the fish ain't biting. LOL That and NO CARPET to worry about. Anyone that has carpet in their boat knows it's a pain, you spend alot of time cleaning it. NO, It's not humming, you can hear it when it's running and it ain't running. I'll check things out tomorrow after work. got class tonight
OK now WB, I was specting a good and explanatory answer from you.
They all covered it. Get you a meter or at least a test light and get to work.

Had to replace fuse on mine earlier this year.. It was an in-line not far from pump..
Thanks Blue, Now I got to find the dang thing. Since I don;t have a Owners Manual, I think it'll be under one of those 2 screw down deck caps. They're about 8 inches wide so that should be where it's at
If they are running, they are clogged up with either trash or dirt dobbers. Take a hose and try flushing them out. What's wrong with carpet? If keeps my feet cool.
Just remember DD. Once you put your hand in there and grab the fuse, you have to unclinch your fist, else you won't be able to remove your hand. I'd hate for Nessa to have to saw off your arm to get you loose.

I like the way it holds squished up minners.... Gives my boat that fresh fishy smell
That's why I wanted a carpetless boat Mo. That and the worst thing is Worms and Nibbles getting in the carpet. Be stanking. LOL The bilge pump does not turn on. No sound at all and I know what it sounds like. The on/off is on a toggle switch on the console and I've hit it before by accident so I know what it sounds like. It's an automatic one to boot so it woulda tried to turn on Saturday for sure and it didn't
nothing like stepping on a minnow and mashing it into the carpet for that real fishy look...........wont live without it.
Just a thought sir,,, there was a post a while back about a wireing job/ replacement thing that caused fiberglass all over your arms/job and as i don't think anyone has asked this as of yet i will, could it be that this result is a issue / fallout from that repair job:o
Shouldn't be Fuzzy butr with me, anything can happen. Was hooking up a charger to my TM batteries and the Bilge p[ump should be on the main battery
you might have knocked a wire loose while you were working up under the console the other day
The pump not working is only part of the problem- how did all that water get in there is the other half....
Thumbs UpQuote:

I started looking at it last night but we met a few folks out for Messican so I didn't get finished. I did take the cover off where all the toggle switches is and check to see if there was any loose connections. I didn't see any so I'll take a closer look friday evening
What about the leak?? Where is water coming in from??
I need a recap. You've screwed up so much stuff on your boat that I've lost my place.

Not sure where it's coming from Maj.Got alot to check out for sure.
