    What is this plug in the bildge area

    20200707_220709.jpg

    This plug does not go to anything. It is in the bildge area around the pump. Curious as to what its purpose should be

    Might be a diagnostics port

    Do you have the integrated wiring harness in your 721 ? If not that plug looks a lot like the Bilge Pump plug that plug could be there for an additional add on (when I ordered mine I got that option with the integrated wiring harness). I have a extra one on the shelf from Tim.

    The little white tag on the wire will say what it's for. Looks like the plug for an extra bilge.

    The 3 wire that currently goes to the bildge is plugged into the factory pump. This plug is only a 2 wire. Maybe because it doesn't use the auto pump feature. I did not look at the white tag before I closed the hatch up. I also don't know what kind of wiring harness is in the boat as I bought it second hand. I know its the kind that irritates me as the auto bildge and my accessory port/USB isn't working for my backup/emergency pump.

    Yea, the 3 wire should be the auto bilge and the 2 wire is an extra manual bilge. They just use the same wire harness whether you get it or not. Have you checked to see if your getting power to the pump? Could be a stuck float, especially if it works in manual mode. Check the breaker on the USB port

    The manual switch works fine. I didnt test initially and just assumed I had a bad float or switch so a swapped a new bilge pump in. Guess what... no auto bildge. I felt stupid for not testing first. Also have checked the breakers as well for accessory port

    It looks like you have the 9 series wire harness. Do you have the black box with the master cut off in the bilge? Sounds like the wire that should always be hot for the auto bilge isnt hooked up or something. I redid the wiring in my 721, and I thought it was a mess but once I got to looking it was easy to figure out what most of it was. It just wasnt put in there all that neat
