Greetings all. I hope everybody had a stellar weekend of boating. I had a near flawless weekend on the boat until yesterday morning during the admirals shower time.
The drain in the shower stopped working (mid-shower, unhappy wife) so I quickly pulled the covers off both shower sumps to find both were inoperable. I fiddled around, jiggling the wires, moving the floats up and down repeatedly and looking intently for an in-line fuse that would have stopped both pumps. I also checked my breaker(s), not thrown.
I finally told my wife to continue showering since the emergency bilge was working fine. While the water was pouring out of the sump box I jumped on Club Sea Ray to research. At that point, without explanation, the forward shower bilge starts working again. The aft sump is still 100% non-functioning.
Has anyone ever had intermittent operation of both pumps at the same time? They are wired into the looms independently otherwise I would have assumed one bad electrical connection was causing both to be flaky.
I'm going to replace both pumps and both float switches tomorrow. I'll also be cutting back some of the original wire to make new connections. I hope this does the trick but thought I'd ask around here as well. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
