My aft bilge pump was siezed. Manually turning it on would immediately blow the fuse behind the dash. I replaced the bilge pump and it works fine when manually triggered. The bilge pump didn;t work when I put water in the bilge to test the float switch.
I assumed the float switch was bad, too, and just spent this evening replacing it. When I manually trigger the new float switch, still no bilge pump. Then it hit me: is there an in-line fuse going to the float switch? If so, it would have blown trying to trigger the old siezed bilge pump. It was getting dark and I was beat, a cursory look didn't show any in-line fuses.
Do any of you know if there's an in-line fuse between the battery and the float switch, and if so where it would be/what it looks like? Thanks in advance!
