2019 Chaparral Vortex Jetboat freshwater system has no pressure. Turned on the switch at the helm but pump did not start. Pump and system works with direct 12 Volt feed. No power at the wire harness connector in the bilge.

Please help!!!

Inside the helm, there are a bunch of push button fuses. Did you press them all?

Thank you for your response.
By fuses, do you mean the push button switches on the dashboard at the helm? Or are these fuses hidden somewhere under a cover on in a compartment?

If so, I did, and there is one specifically labeled water pressure. Still no power at the harness connector at the pump.

Yes, that's what I was referring too. I figured you did but had to ask.

You'll have to trace the wires back to find the short or (possibly) run new wires. First, I would unplug and plug in all connectors (to the pump) as the connectors sometimes corrode a little. Sounds like a fun winter project???
