Re: New proud Mariah owner
Welcome aboard! "Tinkering" is a good thing and to be honest that's how many of us learn how things work. Generally when electrical things stop working on a boat its either due to a bad ground/broken or bad wire connection, failed fuse or a failed part. If u use a 12v test light then you can tell if there is power going to each of the items and if so, that will rule out the fuse / bad ground issue. With the bilge pump they are known to fail or get blocked with debris so if there is power going to it then the unit has either failed or is blocked. Try taking it apart to clean it out or better still, if its an original unit it has served you faithfully for 18yrs and its time to replace.
The fuse panel is located up underneath the dash on the starboard side. You should be able to access it thru the headrest in the bow.
