Need help please,
couple weeks back I went down to boat and tuned on my water pump. Noticed after a short while my bilge came on and my pump had cycled a coulple times. Went into engine room to check out pump and found a large leak coming from a switch, the switch had no wires connected to it. I now understand that the switch was the 69A pressure switch, or part of it.
Anyway I was about to take off boating and needed a quick fix so I removed the pressure switch and replaces with a 1/4 pipe plug. I was fine over the 3 day weekend , but then I went out last weekend I had NO water pressure.
The pump does not cylce over. When I had removed the pressure switch the prior weekend I also must have let all the pressure out from the accumulation tank , it blew air like crazy. I really have not had a lot of time to trouble shoot except for reading the manual, which states the pump on and off is controlled by the pressure switch. Here is where I am confused.....the switch had no wires to it ?? Been that way as far as I know since owning the boat for 9 years. What you guys think ? hard to believe the motor just went kapoot , but maybe ? The pump is not froze up, the shaft between motor and pump spins fine. My next plan was to test the voltage at pump (12v model).
Thanks
Brad
