Shower Sump on 260EC -- no power

MyDreamComeTrue

The shower sump quit working after last winter.  Not getting power.  I swapped the circuit breaker at the helm -- no help.  Other bilge pump in the mid-berth is working fine.  I do notice a 3rd wire coming off the pump that is not connected --  should it be  ?

I had the same problem. I never found the exact cause, but I suspect corrosion in a wire or connector. I just ran heavier gauge new wires and replaced the pump while I was at it. The old pump still works and I've kept it as a portable backup bilge pump.

I believe the third wire to the pump is needed when that same model is used a bilge pump. This allows you to use a manual switch and a float switch to activate the pump.
