New 373 owner

[Peter M]

Just purchased a 2005 373 and sailed her home this weekend for the first time. Prior owner said all the manuals were on board. Found the Beneteau book but but nothing on the refrigerator or other accessories. Does anyone know where to get them? My specific issue is the refrigerator. Water collects at the bottom and doesn't drain. There is a button next to the sink but it doesn't do anything. I also need a manual for the air conditioner.

Thanks
Peter M

I found my docs in the back of Bene book inside plastic folders. But, I am assuming it was done by the factory.

You probably have to turn on the (fresh water?) pump breaker to make the fridge drain pump work. MyB323 does. And open the drain's thruhull.

The manual indicates the ice box drain has both a thru-hull and a drain pump. Wire 165 powers the pump. (page 58 should show the Wago block layout)

I suspect the button at the sink activates the drain pump. All you have to do now is figure out which breaker on the panel powers that circuit. It may sound wierd but the breaker for the shower drain may also power the ice box drain.

Enjoy the new-to-you boat. And ... we don't race our boat and just love the in-mast furling main.

Yes, on our B361, the shower pump circuit breaker is used for the fridge pump.

Thanks all for the info. The shower switch does activate the drain pump button. Now I just have to figure out where the thru- hull is and make sure it is open.

There's no valve for the fridge drain. It pumps out above the water line just like the bilge pump.

Thanks Lee. I found the pump.

I came across this post through an on-line engine beacuse I am having the same problem. Can you tell me where the pump is? Can you post a picture (something like "drainage pump for the dummies...)?
Thank you.

The pump is under the sink. The shower pump has to be on and the drain hole in the freezer has to be pluged ( this is important as the pump will suck air from the freezer) in order for the pump to clear the water in the refrigerator.
