Aft bilge pump cycles every 2-3 minutes--2018 R29 CB

Ok, disregard my question. I found another old thread of mine that has the answer to my question. Looks like I go fold myself back into the bilge area and swap out a pump—hopefully under warranty. I’ll report back if the pump itself is once again, the problem…

One thing I discovered replacing aft bilge pump recently is that the fuse box had some play and the fuses -- which are on the auto timer circuit -- were not always staying in contact. The fuses were good but inop due to their seating. (Fixed that by slightly bending contacts.)

Well, I am still unfolding myself, but I did get into the bilge area and swapped out the pump and all is well again. The pump was only about 1 year old, so is covered under warranty, but that real pain is getting the pump swapped. I did check the seating of the fuses in the block just to make sure that wasn't the issue, and it did not make any difference. Now, while in there, I also checked the forward bilge pump and it's totally inop on manual and automatic. I'll create another thread on any tips to get to that one as it looks higher up towards deck, but I cannot see any way to get into a gap to reach it. An adventure for another day...

In response to Stinson. The 24/7 fuse panel is located in the cave to the left of the breaker panel. It’s carpet upholstered and looks like a decorative cover. Mine is wedged in with no screws to remove
