  1. yes i tested the wires at the pump and no power at the back there are three wires a black ground wire a brown and white for automatic and a solid brown one for manual pump. the switch in the dash has threee wires one is a black ground one is orange which is the feed wire and one brown one wich is power out im assuming the brown wire goes to the pump . the brown wire goes up into the main harness but i cant find were it runs to the back of the boat . any other thoughts . i do not know where the continous power supply comes from for the automatic part of the pump . is there a control panel somewere for the bilge ? when i look at the wiring diagram in the owners manual it says there should be a junction for the bilge but the dealer says it is the switch in the dash which didnt make sense to me .

     

    the dealer is located a few hours away and a $300 ferry ride each way so im hesitant to take it too the dealer if i can fix it myself


  2. i need help . i have a 2014 fx44 and last year at the end of the summer i walked down the dock and noticed the automatic bilge pump running constant. i lifted the rear engine cover and pulled the pump from its housing and i could get the pump to stop running by lifting the float up. (which is backwards) i pulled the boat out of the water and ordered a new pump and left it sit over the winter. i have pulled the boat out of storage yesterday and proceeded to go ahead and install my new bilge. i connected the new pump and wires and tested it with the manual switch on the dash and the pump wont turn on . i checked for power with a test light and i have power at the back of the switch under the dash but no power at the back at the pump. i called the dealer and they suggested checking all the breakers and none of the breakers were tripped. i lifted the floor to make sure i didnt have a cut wire as the wiring is supposed to run up the center of the boat beside the fuel tank and i cant find anything that looks like it could be the issue. anyone have any suggestions or have had a similar problem .??

     

    thanks in advance


  3. If it's anything like my 211 mine never worked from the day I picked it up either. Mine was behind the kick panel. Had to remove the cup holder section on the left, unbolt the fuse panel and then the kick pad. 276eebffdf875b78be66d31f2a573ac1.jpg Mine ended up being a amp problem on my wetsounds sub. If the new ones arnt in the same location than sorry can't help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  4. this must be a common problem . mine fell off also . I noticed it while cleaning the bottom of my boat in the water. I found the silencer on the bottom of the lake and re installed it with a little bit of silicone to take some of the vibration away from it . to be honest I didn't notice any difference with it on or off . I would love to buy an FAE if they could figure out the spray problems . I rode and surfed dreamers boat last year with the FAE on it and it was like riding in a Cadillac.
