Hi all.. new member, just bought a 2004 260 Sundancer. I love the boat. I have a question on the macerator. The manual keeps telling me to turn the macerator on at the breaker panel. Problem is there is no macerator breaker on the panel in the berth or anywhere in the boat. I open the seacock (when I am in an area I can do so), this has an interlock switch and I make sure it is fully open. I turn the key in the head and hold it in the discharge position and nothing... no pump.. no discharge. It may be that it is broken.. I just purchased the boat and don't know it's full status. Just wondering if there is anything I am missing or if someone with the same boat knows where the macerator breaker is and how the system is supposed to work.

See if you have power at the key switch with a voltage tester. If so you could have a bad macerator pump! Also Welcome aboard ! Hope this helps
 
If I remember, there is a button beside the key you have to hold in while you turn the key. If your seacock is open, hold the button in, turn the key, and it should pump out.
