I spent a few weekends looking for it to when I first got the boat. I was only ever on the newer models at the boat show that had the switch. I looked all over before I got my hands on the wiring diagram which showed no switch.

Don't owe anything. That's what we are all here for. Happy to help.

Sorry we sent you on a wild goose chase, never would have thought that some models did not have a switch. So does it work?

Funny thing, yall could have had me keep going. No it might be under this, take that off, twist this LOL.


I will fill with H20 tomorrow and report back. hope it works, just threw down 400 for new tachs since my starboard tach took a dump and gaffrig doesnt make the same one I had. So I am replacing with 6k tachs instead of the 8k that were stock.

Thanks again.

When I bought my 292, the wires to the pump had been cut. Didn't think to much about it at first. Easy fix, so come spring I rewired it, turned it on and got nothing. No hum, no noise, no click, nothing. I did get heat. Disconnected it, pulled the entire pump out, took it apart only to find the motor had seized up. After thinking about it a bit more, I realized what had probably happened was being pressure sensitive, when water tank ran dry, pump ran continuously. With no water, motor heated up and seized. With no On/Off switch to the pump, previous owner just cut the wires. I don't understand why he didn't just trip the breaker.

I like to think this is why the switch was added to the more recent models. So the breaker wouldn't have to be tripped everytime the water tank ran dry, so that the pump wouldn't run continuously.

well hopefully the diaphram pump that is in there is rated to run dry. . We will see once I return to the boat.
