12v water pressure pump on my 2004 Hunter 33 decided to stop without warning. Alll other 12v functions AOK. Immediately thought electrical issue, blown fuse but cannot locate fuse box or the like. Either well hidden or it's non existant. Can anyone advise if panel switches incorporate circuit breaker etc. Appreciate any assistance.

Switch on the panel is the circuit breaker. If it's on, it should have power. Check that you have power at the pump. Maybe a loose connection? Anything unusual happen that could have loosened a wire etc.?

To all who offered assistance thank you. Finding out intricacies about yacht is a giant and continual learning curve. Re water pump issue. After tracing wires, inspecting connections was ready to give up and remove pump but noticed power wires from pump top covering in protective plastic sleeve disappearing under HWS. Removed sleeve to find two joiners coated in clear'ish hard substance, I presume to aid waterproofing. Removed coating to find one crimp connector loose although not visible with the naked eye. Moving wire had pump spring to life. Obviously been there since production and for some reason decided to fail 6 years later. One nip with pliers did the trick.....thank goodness. New rule...don't trust connectors even if they look A1. Again, thank you for everyone's help.
