Just purchased 2000 Maxum 2300 SC
Love my new boat, only used it once so far.
I can not figure out how to turn the water on. There is a red illuminating switch by the sink in the cuddy which I was told was the water heater (by the seller who claimed never used the sink or wash-down sprayer on the stern). I suspect that this red switch is the on/off for the pressure pump but nothing happens when turned on - other than the switch light glowing. I have not had time to find the pump yet. I do have water in the tank.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Kevin

First welcome aboard!
The switch is the power switch for the pump and not the hot water heater. Sounds like you need to locate the pump and determine if it is getting power to it and running. I am not familiar with this model but I am sure someone will help.

That is the power switch. I forget where the pump is located but if it's running you will hear it. It's obvious.

Turn the switch on. If the water is pressurized it won't make any noise until you open one of the taps. Can you confirm that you tried this and it still didn't work? This requires that the battery switch be turned on as well.

I have a 2001. My pump is in the center floor locker directly below the captain's chair. Check the connections at the pump.

I finally was able to check it out again yesterday. I do have water in the tank. When I have the switch on, the switch glows. When I turn the faucet knob, nothing at all happens. Jerryh3 - I did look into the locker but I guess I didn't look to the side that far. I am suspecting a fuse or other connection failure. I will take another look inside the locker. I can see in between the ice box and the bulkhead that the water line and power wire go from the behind the ice box under the bulkhead on the passenger's side (port). I was thinking I would have to remove the icebox to check it out. I did also notice a panel against the bulkhead that is very low in the head locker - it may be an access to the pump and/or wiring. I did not open this but now wish I would have. I will investigate this further tonight.
Thanks for all of the help and the warm welcome!

Fixed!! The pump was in the locker with a (kinda cheesy) carpeted cover. Once this was removed the job was pretty straight forward.
Thanks for the help!!
