Sorry for your hell.
My battery was just drained by my bilge pump running for no reason. I replaced it.(what fun) and the new one runs hot all the time also. Anybody know why? And speaking of seats my passenger seat wont go up th last inch? Any ideas?
Hope you figure it out. JC

Ok, right about here you know its time for plan B, shine it up tow it to your local strip club, then give the valet guy a few bucks to tow you back and forth through the parking lot while you sit at the helm getting a BJ on the house. hehe
Sorry for your troubles ,to credit you, you did do enough homework to pick a fountain,, you could be dealing with all this trouble on a P.O.S.

Fountain27496ho - Bilge pump is always hot so if your battery switch is off the pump can still come on if water gets in the boat/bilge. Primarily an issue for boats that STAY in the water rather than on a hoist or on a trailer, but can also be important if you store your boat outside and your cover comes off in a storm. Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread.

Dago to find your short use one battery and remove the neg cable, put a test light between the batt terminal and cable if you have a short the light will light. A radio memory will not be enough to light the light so if it is lit you have a problem. Do this and start popping fuses and tripping breakers till the light goes out then you've found the circuit,and go from there.

Ok Its a hi-jack, Fstftn I know its hot but my bilge pump is running non stop no water no stuck float. Replaced it and still running. I pulled the fuse. Any Ideas?
Also does the neg. battery trick work on cars. My vette developed a draw. The light is on but never went out after trying every fuse? any Ideas?
Dago get a week of trouble free yet ? I hope.
Thanks for any suggestions. JC

Test light trick works on any 12 v system. does your bilge pump have a internal or external float switch?
