I had the same problem last year. The fuel pump would keep running. Turned out to be a stuck relay. There are two little black relays on the starboard side of the motor right near the top. One of them was not functioning correctly and would not turn off. If I tapped it with a wrench it would shut off. I just replaced the relay for like 12 bucks at the auto parts store. Easy fix.

Thanks!! Went out today..stopped the boat, heard the pump... opened the hatch and gave it a little taparooo...of she went!

Just did this, pretty easy if you use the same pump. Two clips hold it to the basket and three wires connect. It is awkward to get to though, though you don' t need to remove the exhaust. Let me know if you want more detail.

Thank you for your response!I would love More detail...I removed the engine /storage divider panel... Now what?

Ok I am going to figure it out... Should I take photos and document the repair procedure for future crew members? Maybe we can start a how to section... I hate paying the repair bills!! So I am becoming a DIYer..

Ok so I checked it out today .. looks like I need to remove the side panel and the rear exhaust chamber to access it is this right? Has anyone ever replaced their bilge pump themselves? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Under the rear of your engine. Right by the rudder port.

Thanks! Is it a hard fix? Any Pointers?

My bilge is not turning on in my 2003 Avy... Any Idea where it is located? I checked the fuse and it is fine...

I am having the same thing.... Ever figure it out?
