Fuze Panel on HydraSport 212

[philv]

Having a hard time finding a fuze or distribution panel on a 2001 HS 212 WalkAround. Washdown/livewell pump has stopped operating. Any help out there??

Thanks in advance.

There is no fuse-panel on a 212 WA. There is an inline ATC fuse back by the batteries to take power to the helm. After that there are breakers directly below each switch.

You say Washdown/Livewell pump. If I recall correctly they are on the same circuit. If both pumps have gone out then more then likely it is electrical - check your breaker.

dowop is correct, there is a circuit breaker below the switch. If that doesn't get the pump working, the pump is in the bilge on top of the intake. It is a simple cartridge type that can be unscrewed from the housing once a retaining clip is released. Pull the cartridge to see if it is blocked and/or will operate with a little proding. If not, a replacement cartridge is needed. Or upgrade the system with a new thru-hull, shut off valve and pump. The stock set-up is so cheap, that replacement is inevitable.

Thanks much guys - will check out this afternoon - (if the rain stops!!)

The washdown and livewell pumps were separate on my '01 212 WA. They even had their own thru-hull and seacock. The fact they are both not working leads me to believe that it is electrical. I had a rule livewell pump and a Shurflo Blaster washdown pump.

Good Luck.

OK - here's the deal - this 212 has a Rule Aerator pump and a Flo Jet washdown pump, both on the same 3 position switch. Some idiot (ME) knocked a wire off of the back of the switch when I was reversing the wires on the trim switches. Turned out that was wrong too and I should have left them alone. No - my name is really not Murphy (most of the time).

beachblitz and dowop - thanks for helping me get pointed in the right direction again.
