I had the same issue, turned out to be ECM board (simplistically - piece of electronics that controls the work of the fuel pump). The way mechanic discovered it was by fist determining that there was zero voltage across the connection to the pump. But it could be other issues - wiring, relay etc.
Yes, I did. The issue was the water discharge housing (where you drain the water from the cooling system). It is made of plastic and developed a crack. The way I noticed it, is when I tied the blue freeze plug very tight, I saw that the water was coming around it. Followed where it was coming...
I did fix the leak issue, but today discovered a new problem. My port side engine died on me while under way, after about an hour. No warning signs or beeps. Engine temperature was normal. Sequence was like this:
- Engine died
- Put shift to neutral, pushed "start" - engine started.
- Shift...

I want to ask what maybe a stupid question. We just purchased our boat, and I noticed that when going at decent speed the bildge is filling up with some water. Nothing that the pump can't handle, but it seems excessive. Doesn't happen when docked or at slow speed. Could it be a leaking drain...

Hi everyone, I have a question. I noticed that on my recently purchased 280 Sundancer, water is leaking through the canopy in heavy rain. Slow drip right in the center, somewhere around or above center pane of plastic window. Enough that puddle forms under the steps that go down to the cabin...
