My starboard livewell pump quit working. The switch to turn it on is flashing. I know that means that the breaker is tripped. So I press and hold for 5 seconds and it shuts off. Press it again to turn it on and the LED just flashes. No working livewell pump. Any ideas?

One possibility is that something is stuck in the pump, causing the circuit to overload when you turn it on.

Yep, I thought that might be the case, so I pulled the pump and the impeller spins freely.Originally Posted by jc2bg

Swap the two live well connectors and see if the LED follows. Or remove pump and test it on a battery

Swap the pumps or replace the pumps If it doesn’t fix then evaluate the control panel
Had the exact same problem on my 2020 521L, drove me nuts. Could take pump cartridge out and it spun fine. Put back in place, fill livewell and try it out and would trip out. Finally found a friggin screw was in pump housing. When pump wasn't running, screw would slide down out or site. When I turned pump on, it would suck screw into impellor.

I ended up replacing the pump and it works okay now. Thanks all for the comments.
