I have a 2005 Skeeter 225. I suddenly had a problem with both bilge pumps, 2 aerator pumps and 2 circulatory pumps quit working. All other accesories work. I have juice to the switches. I can hear the relays clicking in the breakers/relay box when I turn on each switch. The lights come on under each aerator/circulating pump switch when I turn them on. The lights stay on, all the time, for the bilge pump switch whether I turn the switch off or on. There are overrides on each breaker but using them has no affect. I tried checking the voltage coming out of the breaker box for each of these accesories but get varying results. I.E. some shows 12 volts coming out when I turn on the switch. Some shows lower voltage. Some show no voltage coming from the breaker box to the accesory. Anyone experience this? Any ideas? Bad breaker/relay box?

time to trace out the connections, and test each one. corrode connections, damaged insulation. bad pumps.

Agreed with TD. Don't forget to check the grounds -- often overlooked.

This is where I would start...remove the bilge pump(s) from the electrical circuit, and see what happens to your other accessories.

You have already realized that your bilge pump circuit, is not functioning as usual!
