2006 3100 SE Vacuflush question

[boilerdude53]

All:
My buddies at the marina emailed me and said my Vacuflush pump was running full time for some reason. I went out and checked my manual and it says to disconnect the electrical supply to the unit when not using for long periods of time. For the life of me, I cannot find an isolation breaker or switch anywhere. I ended up disconnecting the pump motor from the tank switch to get it to stop. I did not buy the boat new and don't have a correct wiring diagram so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
Chris

It’s possible that it does not have a switch. I can’t confirm for your model but my 2900 did not have a switch so I was pulling the fuse in the engine compartment every weekend for the first year. By the second season, I had installed a switch! It’s not just for long periods either. There will be at least one time in the middle of the night that the pump cycles due to a hair or small piece of TP … you will want that switch so you can be go back to sleep and deal with it in the morning .

There is usually a switch in the head called 'pump' or 'head'. There is also a 12VAC breaker on the panel that usually reads "Head".

I turn off everything but the fridge, bilge pumps and lights when I leave the boat.

Can also confirm that my 3100SE has a switch in the head next to the light switch.
