Taps Issue

[Ben_DipWrap]

Made some search, found nothing.


Here is the story;

Everything was fine all day. Parked for a while and batts were down at 10v. I finaly was able to start it. Since then Taps doesnt work. Breaker was ´broken'. Pulled it back. Now i ear the Click sound from the box but taps still doesnt move. 2 fuses are good. Tried to move it with a little pressure, nothing.

Any idea before i pull it from the river?

ASR 14' with regular taps center plate

Can you hear the pump running? it is in the starboard rear compartment by the transom. Check power across the blue, green (solenoid) and yellow wires as someone presses the button. That will tell you if you have power to the pump.

Where are those cables?

[KoolAid]

In the starboard rear compartment attached to the hydraulic pump.

ill check it tonight. Dealer told me its probably either the pump or cylinder.

Made some test, i hear the pump working. So good chance the cylinder is done

If the pump is working I would guess it's low on fluid first and then my second bet would be the solenoid. Its a hydraulic ram, the ram only goes bad if it leaks or the case to it is broken.

Oil level is good. Ill pull it from water tonight to see the cylinder. Do you talk about the solenoid inside the pump?

[KoolAid]

Yes, the solenoid on the pump. Its where the green wire goes to.

Parked for a while and batts were down at 10v. I finally was able to start it.

An ASR should be equipped the Dual Circuit Plus switch and an ACR/VSR, preventing house loads from drawing down the cranking battery while anchored.

Made some test again. I unplunged the oil hose and found that the pump dont push any oil. I unmounted the whole thing, mounted it and it worked for 5 mins. Now nothing work she dont even work anymore. Looks like something is bad with the pump. Ill buy a new one tomorrow
