2013 R31-CB Fuse locations (bilge pump & downriggers)

[philsohn]

We just purchased a 2013 R31-CB, and I am having trouble finding a couple of fuses. The R29 manual that came with the boat doesn't seem to list them, and the newer edition of the R29 manual has the fuse blocks in different locations. I can not find two fuses.

One is for the automatic bilge pump. I suspect this fuse blew during the survey. The surveyor switched on the manual switch on the main circuit breaker and it immediately blew the breaker. Switching it on later, the pump worked fine. But it doesn't work automatically. The Ultima switch was held down in the bilge by a large zinc plate. Is has come adrift from the pump. (I have seen several people mention this on the forum as an issue.) Holding my fingers on the test points on the Ultima switch doesn't activate the pump. So I'm not sure if just the fuse is blown or if the switch is bad.

I also can not find the fuses for the downrigger outlets.

There are fuse blocks in the stateroom behind the plotter and in the starboard locker under the cockpit sink. Is there another block someplace?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Philsohn, both the downrigger plugs and bilge pump fuses are located beneath the cockpit sink. You will have three fuse blocks located in this compartment. If you go to the "Ranger Factory Technical Bulletins" page on this website, there is a "R31 Wiring Schematics" bulletin which will show all of the items on each fuse block. The three below the sink are: House fuse block, Engine fuse block and Thruster fuse block.

Thank you,
