Bilge Pump Fuse Location? 1997 240 Sundacer

Hi,
Can anyone help me find the location of the bildge pump fuse in a 1997 240 Sundancer. There is no fuse for it in the breaker box.
Thank you

It might be inline - start at the pump and work your way out. Or, start at the battery and follow the small diameter wire.

Was looking for something inline but didn't see any on the starboard side of the engine.

Did you follow the wires all the way?

I tried but they go into a enclosed harness so I wouldn't think they would put an inline fuse in the harness. Just got off the phone with Sea Rep...mentioned there was a fuse in the bilge for the pump but wasn't sure where because they change the location every year so not too much help.. did mention to manually trip the float to see if it turns on but pretty sure its not working since there's water in there already. Gonna check to see if I have power tomorrow.

Just to be sure... did you try following the wires from the battery and from the pump?

Raining today but will make sure I follow the lines all the way through...will update tomorrow. Thank you for the help!

OK finally found the fuse for the sump pump on my 1997 240 Sundancer. Its in a little black waterproof jacket mounted on the wall of the bilge area facing the bow. There was two of those black jacket, one for the pump and one for the radio memory. While looking for the fuse I did notice a broken plastic zip tie underneath the bilge pump. My guess it got sucked in jamming it and blowing the fuse. Once I replaced the fuse it kicked on right away, pumping about a foot of water out of the bilge from the last three days of rain. I will try and get a picture of the location to help others in the future.
