Hello,
I've owned the boat for several years now and have worked on you name it and fixed it or replaced it. So the other day I noticed the bilge pump wasn’t working. So, I checked the 3 amp fuse and noticed it got burned out. I replaced it figuring this would solve the problem I also took the bilge out and cleaned her out a little. After reinstalling everything seemed to be in working order. Well it’s wasn't, the bilge refuses to shut off...... There is no more water in the hull as I vacuumed it all out to ensure the test I was doing was going to work.
What should I do as next steps? I checked the switch by the blower fan and disconnected it but the bilge kept working. My next step is to see if the automatic water sensor is dirty or needs some type of cleaning or even replacement. Any ideas anyone?
I don’t have a cavitation problem the wear ring its excellent shape but all this extra weight due to the water its slowing me down from my normal performance. I also don’t want to have to plug and unplug the fuse to get the bilge to work because it’s annoying. But, in the mean time I’m doing to have to. For anyone else out there that runs into this I hope the post helps you.
Thanks!
