Jabsco Fresh water pump fuse question '78 Express 30

Post by Dollarbill63 »

I have lost my (quit working) Jabsco fresh water pump. BUT it looks too new and I am wondering if there is an inline fuse somewhere that I am missing. I will take my voltage meter out there tomorrow. Fuses on the fuse panel do not look blown - alhtough I am just guessing which fuse it is because I do not have a wiring diagram yet..yet.. I should have ordered one over the winter..


Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance...

I suggest you be in a church somewhere tomorrow and worship your Creator. Last time I tried to mess with the boat on a Sunday I ran over a submerged tree in Beaufort inlet in 60' of water and rolled up the prop like a rosebud. When you get back to your water pump problem look for voltage at the pump. If 12 volts is present, check the pump pressure switch. If not start working your way back to the fuse panel until you find the corroded connection.

I had a problem with my freshwater/washdown pump and after looking everywhere it was the thru panel fuseholder on the pump switch that turns the pump on. I found my problem with a volt meter....the fuse was good which was the first place I looked so I put it back in and continued the search but wound up coming back to the fuseholder after 3 hrs looking and checking.
