Vacuum "ghost in the machine"

[Yellovette]

So my built in vacuum on my 99' 380 has a tendency to randomly turn on and off for no particular reason. There's obviously a short on the switch mechanism. I'm just curious whether anyone else has experienced a similar problem?

Yes, I have the same problem. It seems to be internal to the unit, and I don't want to disassemble the boat to get at it. The solution was to add a remote/wireless switch to prevent it from do this.
