Hi,
I'm having some interesting issues with my electrical system in my 96 Robalo 2120. I have a dual battery system with a battery switch. I am wondering if my bilge pump is shorted out internally because here is what happens. The bilge pump does not cut on either by the manual switch or float switch. But, with the battery switch in the OFF position, I can turn the manual bilge switch on, and turn on an accessory like the courtesy lights. At this point, my courtesy lights are off. Now, if i manually raise the float on the bilge pump switch, my courtesy lights come on. It's not just the courtesy lights but any of the accessories. Basically, it looks like I have full power to everything just from the float switch. Could this occur if the bilge pump is shorted out? Can someone give me some hints? Thanks!
