Bilge pump fuse/breaker location on 180 Dauntless

I pulled the top off the pump, checked the impeller, and it spins OK and no obstructions seen in the strainer. There is no light on the helm rocker manual-on switch, so I suspect a blown fuse or circuit breaker. The wiring diagram shows a 5 amp protection on the 12V supply. But where is it? Near the pump, bound up in the 1" plastic wiring organizer, but not visible without undoing it? Or is it in the breaker box, located where? Thanks! Edited by Phil T on 07/14/22 - 8:44 AM

See below. If you do not have the owners manual, you can download it here and print it out. https://www.bostonwhaler.com/content/...l-2016.pdf If not corrected, inspect the electrical connections at the pump. Remove the pump and test directly to the battery. Replace the butt connectors. Consider replacing the auto sensing pump with separate units.

Since the boat is ~ 6 years old (salt water use), after reading a few posts about expected life of a bilge pump, I installed a new one. I bought the same model so installation was easy. All good now.
