problem solved! the dash switch had fallen apart. when i removed it, the back fell off in my hand. a new switch was under $20.00.
side note, the part# on the schematic is not correct i flipped a lid when the part kid told me it was $85.00.
(# was for a dimmer switch)
Glad you found it. I had never considered the value of a working bilge pump as much as I did this past weekend. I happened to be cruising across the lake with my family and I shut the engine off to swim...thought it was odd that the bilge pump was automatically on. Looked in the engine compartment and saw about 4 inches of water in the bilge. Freaked out!...of course, when this isn't expected, a million things go through your head, most of which end up with the boat sitting at the bottom of the lake.
Turns out, the water hose that's used for attaching the garden hose had a slightly loose cap. Loose enough to let water leak while under water pressure. Scared the crap out of me. thank god for the bilge!
The exact thing happened to me and my cousin while sitting talking to a Marine patrol friend of ours and we all freaked out and he started screaming get under way take her to the dock fast screw the no wake zone punch it punch it so I definitely remember what I felt like and it was terrible. It all ended when my cousin looked to the bilge pump and the hose was loose and shooting the water into the boat. Jeez what a laugh afterwards..
