Ohio River. Not doing anything to it that hasn't been done before. It's still a number #1 only rule. Only difference is I don't have to be as obvious hanging it off the back of the boat:) Kids are getting older after all...

Well I looked more today and then only place between the 2 is under the driver fot rest... and it has bolts to remover, but looks like its also sealed in place by a bead of 52000... that sure would suck to remove to get to it.

It comeon once, and then it will not come on again. I tried tracing the sound... to no avail. even if i cycle the power it does not come on again. but after a few days of not ont he boat i can turn it on and get one cyccle out of it.

The pump is in the tank. Take out the access panel under the driver seat. Take out 6 screws and it comes out of the tank - buy latex gloves now...

You can get to the foot rest thru the access panel under the dash - but there isnt anything in there. You can see down in there if you put your head thru the dash access panel and look down. Mine are drilled for speakers so they are easily accessible.

I have all ready removed both floor panels. Said that in first post.

Under driver side nothing but tank, no electrical..

Passenger side has freshwater tank, pump, bladder, filter.

Never seen a vacu pump located inside holding tank. That'd be a crappy job to work on for maintaince.

Doubt the sealer is 5200. More likely a silicone. Gotta be before the tank, so the location is very limited.

its not just silicone its hard.

FOUND IT! for others down the road looking for this mystic creature.

You look inside the cabin step, and in the carpet will be 3 screws, you can then remove the whole step from the cabin giving you access to the area forward of the fuel tank in the middle of the boat but under the cockpit deck. (between the 2 access panels.) its just sitting there for you.

now for a new vacuum switch.
