If anyone can help me on the wiring for on the sump pump in the head deck, it would help the smell on the Matilda. The Matilda's is not working and on our maiden voyage it began to a problem. Any help?

Whit
That is a difficult question as most boats this age has been rewired refitted and in general messed up.
suggestion, Find a hot wire, 12 volts, run a jumper from it to the pump and see if the pump works then, if not check for voltage drop at the pump .
I would suggest a book called The 12 volt Bible by Miner Brotherton It is a book that I would recommend to all boaters
with limited electrical knowledge.
Another is Boatowners Illustrated Handbook of Wiring By Charlie Wing
Either of these books will get you through your problem and give you unbelievable knowledge of electricity and wiring.
To quote one boat owner"Befor redin these books I couldnt even spell lecktrishon , now I are one".
Good luck

Hi Witt are you talking about the pump for the shower sump ?
If so I have 2 switch's one on the main panel and 1 in the head , They both need to be on for my shower sump pump in the head to work
My discharge thruhull for the sump is in the hanging locker across from the head exits just about waterline
Hope this helps

Whitt.
It should be at the end of the hose from the shower drain Accessible through the forward hole in the cabin sole
