electrical problem and bilge pump advice
Thank
you both for your thoughts Ill look for the reset switch on the radio,
though I fear its done
As for
the bilge pump, mine does not have a switch for it, its an automatic
rule-mate wired directly to the baterries I believe (not sure if via the fuse
box or not). I will explore some more tomorrow it just occurred to me
that my batteries have an inline fuse near on one of the connections to them
thats probably for the bilge pump I imagine (as its the only thing that
works with the battery switch turned to OFF). Hopefully itll just be a
matter of replacing the fuse

My bilge pump is wired the same as John's, and the
only fuse is right in the 3-way lighted switch panel.
Ref. the stereo, you might check to see if it has an
obscure little "reset" button someplace on it. My Dual Marine stereo/CD player
has one and a friend of mine actually read the book that came with it, and
when he pushed the reset button, everything worked again!
The strange thing is that he's a guy too. I read the
book as a last resort.

I'm
don't think I can help you with your problem but I can tell you how mine is
wired.
I'm
the 4th owner of this boat, I don't want to assign blame but I would be
inclined to blame one of the PO's rather than
Catalina.
Bilge
Pump - Mine is wired directly to the switch on the panel and then directly
to battery 1. When the panel switch is on, the pump works. The
position of the battery switch whether off, 1, 2, or both doesn't
matter. I don't remember if there is another fuse in the wiring
other than what is on the panel.
Stereo
- My unit has three wires, two power and the third a ground.
One wire powers the radio, the second the memory which retains
the stations settings, treble, bass, balance, and fade. Whoever
installed the radio wired both together so when the panel switch was turned
off, the radio lost all of its settings. I recently ran
another wire to battery 1 from the preset connection so I would not
lose the memory when the panel switch was turned off. In this
wire or connection I installed a fuse. I don't know if losing the
memory connection would cause the radio not to operate, and yours may be
different.
Hope
that all of this rambling around will be of some help. Whoever did
this re-wiring on my boat just twisted the wires together and covered them
with black tape. As I get to them, I am using compression connections of the
Ancor heat shrink variety.
Awesome wind the
last three Wednesdays (10 to 15) but we keep correcting
lower

The other day I
was installing instruments on the boat and decided to use the same
electrical wiring that lead to the old (SR Mariner) instruments. The
old instruments had more than the 2 wires I needed, and I started using
the tester to figure out which were the correct ones. It SEEMS like
in the process I must have shorted something. Im not sure exactly
how, as its a completely different circuit, but my stereo started
blinking and then went out altogether, and now Ive realized it appears
that my bilge pump was shorted as well.
SO, my questions
are as follows:
-
I have a Rule Mate 750 bilge
pump is there some fuse or something I can try changing, or do I throw
it out and buy a new one? If so, is there some replacement that will
fit into the same base to avoid new holes/etc?
-
Any thoughts on what might
have happened that caused a stereo, NOT on the circuit I was testing to
short, WITHOUT even blowing the fuse protecting it in the electrical
panel? Any tests people suggest running to try and figure out what
happened? I realize this is probably not nearly enough information
to answer my questions, but thought perhaps theres some obvious things to
try. Thanks.
