Does anyone have or know where I can get an electrical schematic for my Beneteau 323? My bilge pump does not run from the switch in the head, but runs as soon as I turn on the freshwater pump (continuously).

try the Beneteau website,they had manuals on line in Pdf Format . That switch combination is kind of strange, the wires go to a junction box behind the starboard setee. Unfortunately, I do not have my owners manual handy or I could give you wire numbers etc. There is also a valve under the lavatory sink which has to be turned to drain the shower.

Thanks Doug, I have the wire numbers (13 & 14) I think the problem lies with the switch or the wires that run to the head, but I don't have a schematic for theat part of the system.

Bronte Bill, send me your email address, I may be able to,forward a copy of that pdf, I have it on another computer.What year is your 323? there was a manual revision too for later years....

Are you sure that's the bilge pump you hear running when you open the faucet? There are the 2 pumps in there, and it does not sound logical the bilge would come on with an open faucet. But then again... Sounds like the head switch could be connected in the junction box to the water pump, not the bilge pump. Does your bilge pump come on when you operate the circuit breaker?

My crews were forever turning on the shower/bilge pump instead of the light- very noisy in the middle of the night. I moved the pump switch up to the side of the medicine cabinet surround. Also put an LED light there for nightlight use and a fan while I was at it.

Pump problem

I have the Beneteau 323 manual, What I need is a schematic of the electrical circuit. I think the may be a short in the circuit that goes to the head switch
My e-mail is; Sunckr323@gmail.com Thanks Bill

Uummm... if you have the manual, then there should be an electric schematic. It's not the usual schematic, but the numbers of the wires and where they go.

If you have the manual, page46 has the schematic. The wire numbers are 13, 14, and 162 . 162 on the diagram is mis-labelled as 16. 14 should be the black wire..
162 is the red wire to theshowere switch.. 14 and 162 should be spliced together inthe junction box behind the setee on the starboard side. actually a parallel circuit.162 goes from the wago block to the shower switch then from the shower switch to the junction box. 13 and 14 go through the same junction box then to the bilge pump.
