I have a 08 Sabre FTD and I need to change out my aerator pump. I have tried twisting it to no avail. Am I missing something?Thanks for your help.Steven

No, though there is a release arm (black) on the side of the housing you may be overlooking.

I removed the aerator and checked it to verify it was in fact the pump. Its not the pump. All lights are working at the pad. Where do I go from here?Thanks in advance,Steven

Witth the aerator turned on and the pump disconnected are you getting power at the butt connectors where the aerotr plugs into? Did you check the wiring on the back side of the panel and make sure the connections there are not loose. And just to verify your sure you have the aerator pump and not say the bilge pump? Not trying be an A$$ just making sure your on the right pump and switch on the panel for the pump you are checking. It may be possible if the boat is new to you that the wires are backwards on two pumos and are now labeled incorrectly…just a thought.

Jason, I appreciate all help. I am learning as I go. I do have the correct pump – double checked. I dont think I am getting power to the butt connectors. All other pumps are working and all the lights come on at the panel. I did not feel any loose connections on the back of the panel.

Sounds like maybe the touch pad and we would contact service or our dealership for more assistance. BCB

I went through a similiar event two weeks ago when I was checking out the boat (2007 Puma) before our first tournament. My pump out wasnt working, and neither was the aerator or the recirc (cant remember which one). I originally thought I had a problem with the panel, and began checking voltage at the butt connectors of each pump. What I came to realize is that I wasnt checking the correct pumps. It wasnt until I checked all the pumps did I find the correct butt connectors for the pump out. Turns out I had voltage at the connectors, and the pump was in fact frozen. Changed out the pumps and all is good now.
