Doing my spring (make sure everything works) checks i realized my bilge and rear earator was not working. Replaced the fuses and got the Bilge working but fuse for the
earator keeps blowing when i put in a new fuse and turn it on? Same 2 amp fuse and I've never had a problem with this in the 10 years I've owned the boat.

Thoughts on solution?

Thanks

Or the impellor is stuck, and the locked rotor current is blowing the fuse. Are these cartridge pumps? Take it out, and see if it turns freely. If not, replace the cartridge.
