I reluctantly pulled my 2021 r23 for the winter. I pulled 2 fuses from the 24/7 panel labeled forward bilge and aft bilge. I can still hear the engine pod bilge cycling every few minutes. Any thoughts on where the fuse might be located?
 
That fuse should be here the bilge wire connects to your house battery. Mine is labeled “pod”.
 
On my 2021 R-23, the pod bilge pump is not on the 24x7 panel. It’s wired straight to the battery with a fuse in-line at the battery.

I found it exactly where you said. Thanks very much for your help.

If the pump is cycling you are taking on water.
 
If your out of the water you probably want to unscrew the pod drain so any accumulated water in the pod can exit. That should also make the pod bilge pump stop cycling.
 
The bilge pump is on a timer not a float switch. It checks for water every few minutes. That is what I call” cycling”. It eliminates the “stuck float switch” problem.
