Hello Searay owners, The autopilot quit working on my 390 express and I traced it to the circuit breaker, I flipped the breaker on but it kept tripping, long story short I ended up taking the pump out and opening the end piece that encases the electronics which include a small circuit board, one of the larger power wires was shorting against the motor shaft so I fixed that and put it back together but it still kept tripping the breaker, longer story short, the pump works fine if I apply 12 volts to the larger 2 wires but when I put it all back together and connect the 2 larger wires to the circuit board it trips the breaker. So I assume the circuit board is bad. Now I'm trying to locate a new pump but so far all the octopus 1012 pumps I've seen only have the 2 power wires and don't include the circuit board with the 5 little control wires that control the forward and reverse on the pump. Would anyone know where one of these pumps could be found by any chance?

Thanks,
Dan
