i have a 2000 tournament rcl crestliner and i was fishing up north this weekend and i went to turn the front bait well on and it blew the fuse. so i put another 5A fuse in and it blows it right away again. i then tried a 7.5A fuse and it blew the fuse right away again when i turned it on. has anybody had this happen or know what the problem might be. i took the batwell bucket out and the pump works and the wires look fine i dont know what else to look for. thanks

Welcome to the forum!!
I would suggest posting this in the general electronics forum as it really isn't a specific Crestliner issue. That said, there must be a direct short in order to blow the fuse. Check all of the wiring if the motor is working good. One of the wires must be hitting something grounded.

Exactly, you must have a bare wire somewhere...
