Hey Guys, Long story

A week ago I took my boat out, Checking this and that after winterizing, This weekend I took her back out and noticed when starting the engine it seemed slow. I raised the engine compartment and it was full of water. "It did rain"​ Turned on the Bilge pump Event though it's automatic And noticed a drop in the volt gauge
A tremendous drop. And NO pump. NO indicator light....... Pulled the boat out of the slip and took the plug out. I always keep it in....... Water drained for I swear 20 minutes....... But anyway. I cant find the Fuse Block. and ther's NO inline fuse on this pump..... I know this boat MUST HAVE A FUSE BLOCK...... But I have searched high and low......

Thx and sorry for the long story

Are you assuming it has a fuse setup or hoping it does? The reason I ask is because when you turned on the manual bilge pump and the voltage dropped, that indicates a short or near short in that circuit. If there were a fuse setup it should have blown open. So maybe there isn't such a fuse. I would start tracing the wires from the bilge pump to the source of power to see what is going on. It also sounds like it is time to replace your bilge pump. JMHO!

Yes. I'm Just learning about the Circuit Breakers in the switch. I too was thinking the Bilge pump was out. But also I think it ran maybe a leaf of something got in there and blew the breaker.....I'm kind of new at this.......
