When I went on my boat (2001 H260) last night, there was slight smell in the cabin and I noticed that the white button fuse for the bilge had popped out. I looked down in the bilge pump/floater switch and followed the wire back towards the fuse box until I found the fried wires encased by the melted black sheath. I peeled back the melted plastic (picture) to see that this happened where the 12 gauge (?) wires from the fuse box where connected to the 18-20 gauge wires to the switch and pump. I assume the reason this happened is that the wires were partly immersed in the .25 -.5 inches of bilge water that has been sitting there for awhile. I just took ownership of this "new" boat in December, 2001 and it is still under warrenty. Has this happened to anyone before?? Who is responsible for fixing or paying for it, the dealer, Hunter, or me? Should the bilge pump and float switch be replaced?
