    check all the fuses if you haven’t already. Might even have a wire connection come apart or something. I know it’s a pain in the but you’ll have to get a voltage tester and start taking things apart. It ain’t goin to fix it’s self

    Check the bow area for a secondary fill switch that was inadvertently pushed

    no bow switch only had the boat a month.Bought brand new so sounds like the dealers pain not mine….lol Thought maybe was easy fix and not have to go to dealer.

    Are you sure it is not turning on? Can you hear it running and it is not pumping?

    If it runs and does not pump water, there is an air lock. Turn the pumps on and run the boat in reverse for a short period. This will force water past the airlock and into the pump.

    3 amp fuse sounds small to me, I think I have a 5 or 7 amp in each of mine.

    ok went out in boat yesterday pump ran but didn’t fill live well. So it must be plugged up somewhere and thats why the fuse blew. Called dealer and was told the could’nt get it in till after thanks giving. That was the wrong ansewer as the rivers are pounding right now. any one have suggestion….

    Not sure if this is wise advice, but if it’s plugged, maybe some sort of “gentle” snake / soft wire might work. Wouldn’t want to force things too much and create more problems, but it might be something worth trying. Good luck
