Bilge light on but won’t run

[Thorn1je]

Hello- needing help! I have a 2015 Yamaha 192ar that got left outside in a huge rain without the cover and until then the bilge was working fine and now this morning when I need to get water out of it, it won’t work. The light comes on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

That age....it's likely clogged or dead. They're inexpensive at the dealer, or through other vendors. Relatively easy to replace as well.

Lots of info form my bilge pump journey in this thread. I have a '17 AR190. I think it's the same as yours.

You should be able to unsnap the pump from the base to see if something has jammed it. If it's all clear, then I'd verify you haven't popped a fuse.

How do I see if I popped a fuse? I cleaned filter and put it back in the base and nothing.

Circuit breaker is right under the switch on the dash. Push it in. If it clicks, then it was "tripped" if it does nothing, then it was not "tripped".

Likely a dead pump if it doesn't spin for a few seconds as soon as you flip the switch on.

do you have a multimeter you can check for electricity at the plug ?
you could disconnect the pump and check it direct to the battery with two spare pieces of wire

I dont think the light will come on if the breaker is tripped?

Good point.

Good point.

The only reason I know is due to the switches I added…
