Fresh Water Pump not working

[ccarlston23]

I captain a 2023 Chaparral 267 SSX Black Edition with 35hrs on the motor. At the end of last season, my freshwater pump for the toilet, sink, and transom shower stopped working. I don't hear it operating at all when I flip the switch in the head compartment so have eliminating "priming" as a problem. I've reset/pressed every circuit breaker and switch on the panel and everything else looks in order.

my question...What else could I inspect before taking it to the dealer? Is there an actual fuse I can check? If so, where would I find that?

Thanks for your help!

At the back of the owners manual for my 246 SSI there is a wiring diagram. I would start there and look for the fuse and trace the wiring to ensure no damage.

Have you cleaned the screen at the pump.

I would also use a meter to see if the pump is getting 12V.

Thanks. I have not but the boat is new with less than 35 hrs on the engine. I've not filled the water tank more than once so suspect something different. It's certainly not getting power.

Ugh, I don't have a wiring diagram in any of the documentation I received and can't find one online. I'll hand trace it and look to see if I have a blown fuse. May have happened if I had the water pressure switch on while cycling the battery.

My last boat was new and the screen was filled with small plastic pieces. I would bet from drilling holes into the tank for the hoses.

I would not get crazy with the wiring diagram. The breaker must be on the DC panel. Turn the breaker on, do you have power at the pump. If no, pull the panel out and check the wiring at the breaker. If still no power and since the boat is new. Back to the Dealer. it goes.

Thanks for doubling down on this. I am pretty handy and hope it something that doesn't require a drop at the dealer. That's a pain in the rear. Heading to the boat today to diagnose.
