Bilge pumps

[Capt Paul]

Neither of my forward bilge pumps function now. I replaced both and still don’t work. Is there a inline fuse located somewhere??

Do you have 12v at the main manual feed , and is the float switch independant and have 12V ?

 

[Capt Paul]

I don.t have 12 volts coming to either switch so for very short term until I can get back down there I ran the switch directly to a battery and it works..

If you have a switch like this. The fuse is built in where the grey circle is.

Just replaced my fore and aft bilge pumps along with the forward float switch. The forward float switch shorted out the whole shibang. My pumps are 24 volt and have a master circuit breaker on a circuit pannel in the engine room. Both fore and aft circute breakers were popped. The culprit for the whole deal was corrosion on the connections supplying power to the pumps and float switches. SeaRay routed the wiring to the pumps and switches just at the water line. Change out the pumps just because that's a good idea and route the wiring so it is well above any bilge water levels. The same thing happened on my 400DA.
