    That might well be what happened.  I'll check the rest of the breakers as well to be certain.  I'm pretty sure it was an 8 amp I found for either the Bilge Pump or the Live Well pump.

    I picked up my Boat today after having the dealer do the initial 20 Hour service, plus those warrantee items.  They did change out the 5 Amp breaker for a 10 Amp as should have been installed. I also had a problem getting the fresh water system to prime after draining it and putting in 3 gallons of anti-freeze.  I mentioned that to the dealer as well and asked them to check it.  They told me that they found a loose clamp that allowed a hose to leak at the Fresh water pump. So it was sucking some air. When the tank was full, there was enough head pressure for it to prime anyway. But with only 3 gallons in the tank, the air being sucked in was stopping it from priming. Simple fix once they discovered what the problem was.

    Good dealer in Madisonville, TN.

    Relatively simple fix for a frustrating problem.

    Thanks for the update M99!
