Yes, No water anywhere except the sump box.Shower Sump box?
Something is different than my 2000.Yes, No water anywhere except the sump box.
"Pump Alarm Fwd Emergency" alarm is ONLY when the float switch and bilge pump turns on in main centerline below floor storage area. This pump/switch is mounted separately and independent of the sump pump box. When you look down just to the rear of the sump pump box you will see the bilge pump/switch. It is possible that what ever water is entering the sump pump box is not being pumped out fast enough and it flows out into the bilge area and turns on the Fwd Emergency Pump thus giving you the alarm.The system monitor started beeping and display said pump alarm forward emergency. The only place on the boat that had water at all was the sump box. I would pump out the water and the sump would fill back up, with A.C. Off And no water in shower. I know it’s not the bilge alarms, because when I turn on the bilge pumps from the helm the system monitor display shows forward bilge pump or rear bilge pump.
Oh ok, I see it. The owner is out of town, but said his brother can do a virtual tour, so I'll try schedule that ASAP. I just walked away from a Formula based on the engine survey results, so I'm probably a little extra cautious right now...but I agree - in all my searching very very few 380's come up with diesels, so I'll pursue it quickly!

Simple test is to push the lever on the Fwd bilge pump switch and if the "Fwd Alarm" dispaly comes on then you know what is happening.
Did you check your fresh water tank level to see if it constantly going down without use (Leaking?)
Thanks for the info.
But there is absolutely no water anywhere except in the shower sump. Everything is bone dry. you can watch the float switch go up in the sump with no A.C. Condensation or Shower draining into it.
Water is coming from somewhere into the sump. Something obviously has been replumbed in the last 21 years since the boat was built.
I just picked the boat up last Friday and drove it 10 hrs back to home port. The issue started while we were traveling.
Looks like I have a little bit of work ahead of me to figure this out.
Thanks for all of the good advice.
The wiring should be simple to both. 12v in to the float switch, Then to the pump. The connection between the switch and the pump will have a third wire that should tie to the alarm (on the regular fwd bilge) or the indicator light (on the shower sump box) in the head.Yes midwifed explains it.
The boat surveyed above average to Excellent condition.
This didn’t show up until I owned it.
Just my luck, LOL.
I will figure this out it will just take a while.
Hard to see a model number, on the back, says cat# odc 025, not sure on the Number…. Here is picks, they are sheet metal or wood screws that are drilled into the bottomThanks Chris
Can you please look and see what the model No. is on the coffee maker also. I think I have the right model but there are no holes in the bottom.
