Hi, I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I'm trying to solve a very similar problem. I've got a recently-purchased 1995 skeeter zx150. The livewell wiring has been changed, and I'd like to restore it to the original configuration. It's got 2 livewells, each with a recirculating pump and an aerator pump. Each pump has its own auto/off/manual switch (for a total of 4 switches), and the auto functionality for all of them was controlled by a single timer (which is missing and I'm replacing). I don't know what the timer looked like, but judging from the existing wiring, it had 3 blades, so I'm assuming it was like many after-market timers available, with a positive, ground, and the feed to the pump(s).

Additionally, each pump has its own fuse on the fuse block, and that's the part that confuses me. I can't figure out how it was wired in a way that the fuses would protect the individual pumps in both auto and manual modes, without the timer, when activated by any one of the switches, turning on all the pumps at once.

Any ideas or suggestions, or anything else that can shed light on how this thing worked would be much appreciated.

Thanks. I thought it would be ok since I was elaborating on the same topic. Since my post is a little hard to follow in a new thread, the thread to which I was referring is http://forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-...aerator-switch.

The question was answered for one pump and switch, and I need help with wiring one timer to 4 pumps/switches.
