    On my 1996 296 cruiser, the water stopped circulating thru my AC water pump while the compressor can still turn on. I confirmed that the impeller was OK in the pump housing as it moves freely without seizing. Apparently the water pump motor is not turning on. Does anyone know if there is an in line fuse or relay /pump trigger anywhere in the wiring? I'm guessing that there is a thermal solid state overload switch internal to the pump itself.

     

    The pump is a March Mfg. BC-3C-MD. Thanks for any help. Tonight I plan to check the wiring to the pump motor to see if they are hot.

     

     

    If your compressor works, you may just need a new pump. Pumps are available from places like West Marine. You should be able to find one that matches or comes close to the GPM of the pump that you have. They're pretty easy to replace. I have a 1999 296. I replaced the pump a few months ago.

    :rolleyes: I just acquired a 1999 296cr with twin 4.3DP engines. I'm anxious to get in the water. But it needs a few repairs. I've been unable to find the specs on the boat. Any one having info would be greatly appreciated. How fast should I expect the boat to run with the twin 4.3 DP engines. What kind of experience did you have or heard of operating the boat?

     

    Thanks
