    GT-40, Crank, no start, fuel pump no power.

    I recently did some work on a 1998 Ski Nautique, that did not run.
    Like the subject line says, the fuel pump was not getting power.
    A little background. On this boat, the fuel pump relay always has power applied to pin 30 of the fuel pump relay, unless the battery is disconnected.
    I was not getting power there. I checked for power at the fuel pump circuirt breaker (15 amp, might be a 20 amp). No power on either side of that breaker. This breaker should have a connection to the 60 amp breaker. There was power there. I made a fused jumper to go directly to the fuel pump circuit breaker, from the 60 amp breaker.
    The boat runs again.
    This Winter I will take the time to find the broken wire in the harness.

    We had a GT-40 behave the same way. No power to that breaker, and we solved by jumping from the 60amp breaker, I believe, fused of course, same as you did. Interesting.... I guess the difference is we didn't tear the harness apart to find the broken wire, but of course we should since it's presumably a hot wire that's now loose in there. Let me know what you find, and I'll do the same!
    How 'bout a little reverse action...

      I plan on it, when the boat is taking it's long winters nap.
