    Make sure you are getting power to it. If that is good the pump could be clogged or gone bad.

    Does the pump motor come on at all?? If not, check first to see if you are getting 12 volts at the pump. If not look for blown fuse or broken wires. As said above check to see if something is clogging the impeller so it can't turn. I had a 2000 tracker and I can tell you it is the devil to get to the motor to change it out. I got the exact replacement motor but getting the hose on and off when you are standing on your head is tough.
    Also, if you have to replace the motor, be sure to put some lubricant like dish soap on the hose or outlet so it will slide on easily. Mine went on about 1/2" and would not budge either way. I finally got the wife's hair dryer and heated the hose so I could slide it on.
    If you are 25 and weight about 135 it is a piece of cake, if you 70 like me and a tad heavier than you should be, well it is another story.

    Now that I think about it, I bought a replacement timer and never used if after I realized it was the pump that was bad. If you decide you need one I will make you a deal on this one. I have since traded boats so I have no use for it. It is the exact replacement for the one that was on my 2000 Tracker Pro Team165. This is what it looks like.

    SeaRay--Let me look. Been raining everyday down this way so haven't had the urge to get out much. Just where is the timer located? Under the dash

    Mine was under the dash, taped to other wiring to hold it out of sight. My switch had an auto/off/on setting with the auto routing through this timer. Make a note of which wires go where if you disconnect it. If it is the same unit, it should be a unplug and plug in swap.
