This is a beautiful boat! The water system switch on the dash doesn't light up, and the water system pump is not getting it required 12 volts. I'm kinda stumped cause I checked all the fuses I could find... I'm going to find out if there water heater works once I get power to the pump.
Any ideas what to look for?
I am really loving fixing up this gorgeous Searay. It's incredible how good the condition of this boat is!
 
Do you neeď a wiring diagram . I got mine yesterday from a fellow named Jack in here and am happy to pass it on just send me your e mail address . Our 89 268 is a Grande ole dame as well. Love that we are enjoying the life with dimes on the dollar for the value of these old boats compared to the newer ones. We are all set to enjoy the may two four Weekend up here .

Awe darn it I see now it was you jack.
My bad.
I suggest maybe a bad switch there is also fuses on the transom. I'll take pics today of location. Check power both sides if switch then at fuses in transom and finally at the pump or work backwards
 
I will check all fuses and the switch. If I have power at the switch and the switch is bad, I wonder where to get one?
 
These are pretty common switches probably electronics store like radio shack . Your lical chandler should have stock. Often so spray contact cleaner will get the old switch working

Hi Would like a copy of the wiring diagram if possible to nz268sr@gmail Thanks Darrell
 
Thanks for that - much appreciated. The wiring is really a birds nest on my boat perhaps modified/improved? by the efforts of previous owners. Have purchased a low cost cable tracer which should assist with tracking wires. I have a background in electronics but the sea ray wiring installation looks to be a significant challenge. Another winter job here.
