98 Tournament question

[Mark Sr]

I picked up my boat in Jan.Been fixing many things.So yesterday I'm checking iut all the pumps.I put the hose in the fresh water outlet and the water is filling up inside.The hose to the outlet is disconnected,fixed that.Tried to find out how fresh water hose works and there's no pump to the fresh water tank.My question is what kind and size of pump came with that boat and was it screwed or epoxied to the hull.Secondly theres a fuse panel in the transom with a 40 amp breaker that I think is for the pumps.I'm not sure because everything is corroded and damaged.What would be the best way to repair this.Stay with the fuses or put in circuit breaker system.Any diagrams?

SeaBob I sent you a PM

Thanks for all help always

And Mark, here is my reply to your PM, so all can see in case they run across the same issues as you...

Mark,
Sorry I am getting back to you late. Anyway, the pump we used at the time was a Flo-Jet, which is now part of Jabsco. This would be a good replacement from Shur-flo...http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|51|299222|121271|567586&id=613991. You'll also need a couple of Whale waterline fittings...http://www.boatownerswarehouse.com/browse.cfm/2,2342.html

Now, for your breaker box in the stern. The large pushbutton breaker feeds you helm, as well as feeding the breakers in the black box EXCEPT the fwd bilge and aft bilge float switches. Tou don't have a fwd bilge, so that breaker is unused. The other 2 breakers are for trim tabs and stereo memory. The feeds coming off those breakers will be a 10GA Orange (Tabs) and a 14GA yellow (memory) inside the console.

Should you replace the box and breakers, keep in mind the tab breaker is switched, the float and memory breakers are constant hot.

Bob,

Do you have any wiring diagrams of that area? What is the stereo memory?

Mark Sr

[Capt. Bob]

Mark,
Stereo memory is a power feed (constant hot) to a stereo to preserve radio station presets. It supplies the minimal amount of power to keep you from loosing your favorite stations when you turn off the battery switch(s). It's wired directly from the battery through the breaker, to the stereo. This predisposes you have a stereo and favorite stations. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

There is a link in the resource section to the Wellcraft site that shows some wiring diagrams for 96/97 Aquas and different model WCs. You may be able to match up one of those to yours. I haven't looked at all of the diagrams but you may find what you need.
