GT-40 2001 Starts and immediately pops the 15 amp circuit breaker. Last year happened twice at end of season. In both cases last year I reset the breaker and the boat ran fine. Pulled out of storage and breaker nows pops on each attempt to start. Suggestions? I have my boys arriving hoping to ski.

The 15amp breaker is the fuel pump power source. Disconnect the pumps one at a time to see which is causing the breaker to trip.
When the ignition is initially switched on you should hear the pumps run for 1-2 seconds. This short run period may not be enough to pop the breaker. Once the engine is started the pumps run all the time. |

It was the fuel pump. Saved the weekend! My son was driving up and could swing in to the dealer, Pacific Nautiques, and pick up a new pump. Thanks for the help!
