Hi - I purchased a 2017 SPX190 about 30 days ago, private sale. When returning from the lake yesterday, I hear a slight buzzing/engine sound after parking in my driveway. Not the bilge pump and I removed bilge fuse to be sure. Definitely not the blower. I turned the main battery switch to off which killed all power except for this buzzing/engine sound. After disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery, the sound finally stopped. I reconnected the battery this morning and the noise pops back on.

Anyone have thoughts on what my issue could be? Thank you!
 
There are two fuses for the bilge pump. From what you've said, the most likely thing is that the float switch is stuck on. Get your head down in the bilge and listen closer - or even put your hand on the pump. And/or pull the fuse near the battery. Look for something that got lodged into the float and/or being gunked up. Try shooting it with a hose.

If it's not that, you'll need to listen closer to where it's coming from and report back. Otherwise, we're just guessing.
 
Quick update.... turns out the bilge sits in some kind of cradle and fell out of it which triggered the float. Marine tech placed back into the cradle and zip tied it in place. thx
