    Bilge = 5 amp
    Stereo =10 amp

    First timer here...my new to me 2014 188 sport was ready to launch when I wanted to verify the bilge was operating properly as the boat will be in the water for a long time. I ran a hose to the bilge and nothing happened. The pump worked when I turned on the battery disconnect and flipped the switch but no auto bilge with the disconnect off. I panicked and went right to the internet for answers, this is the first post to come up and it turned out to be the exact problem, the fused was corroded and blown and the wiring went to the disconnect switch instead of directly to the battery. Everything works as it should now after following these directions.
    Thanks guys !
