I am pretty sure the Atomic 4 engine is seized. As we could not get it to turn over with a hand crank. I am planning on selling it as is. The new owner can either slap on a outboard or pull the engine and get a rebuilt Atomic 4 from www.moyermarine.com. So given the engine is not working...

Do you know where I can purchase replacement white plastic bezels that cover the interior lights in the cabin? (See photo below) Also, I would like to replace the bulbs with LED bulbs. Please let me know which ones work and voltage?

Water Puppy Bilge Pump UPDATE: More info on my bilge pump. It is a Water Puppy Impeller Pump and installed under the seat in the cockpit. I checked the fuse and it looks good. I think next steps are to check the voltage is running to the pump. If that is okay then I will pull the hoses off...

I recently purchased an E27. I have run the bilge pump about three times by turning the battery switch to on (1,2,or ALL) and then turning on the 10A switch on labeled "Bilge Pump Aft". This was with the 20A Main All turned to on. Now when I trip the 10A switch it stays on for a few seconds...
