Re: Not water flow on ac units 1996 355
If your pump is in front of the port engine, you should be able to get in there by simply removing the small forward hatch on the port side without moving the couch if it's the layout I'm thinking of. BTW, because you can't hear it doesn't mean there's no power to it. It may have power but just not running.
Keep us posted.
Keep us posted.

Yes it’s in front of the port engine I could see it from the long center hatch. Hopefully will be able to report more info when I get to the boat. Thanks again.

I don’t see the results I posted to thank everyone for their help and input. So the pump had power but the bottom of the seawater strainer had become clogged although the water was clear. Cleaned and reinstalled did the trick! H the hank you all as I’m still learning this boat!

Re: Not water flow on ac units 1996 355
Okay, maybe a new post is needed ? But as a follow up went to the boat( hottest day of the year) and no AC but this time now power to the pump so perhaps the Relays that were discussed previously are a new problem. I’ll head back in a couple of days when it cools a bit 105 F is too hot for me !

You made sure the AC Pump breaker at the breaker panel was turned on?

Re: Not water flow on ac units 1996 355
Yes the breaker was clicked on and off a few times, could that switch be the issue or more likely the relay box which you mentioned before? Thank you.

Re: Not water flow on ac units 1996 355
I suspect you mean "no power to the pump" You've confirmed this with a volt meter or probe at the pump?Drspikes355 wrote:QR_BBPOST ...but this time now power to the pump ....

Yes the probe showed no power this time, but it did on previous issue that resolved with the sea strainer being cleaned. I’m going over to take another look this morning while it’s cool
