DIY for Hobie Live Well Pump and Switch Replacement
This DIY is for those who are replacing the switch and pump. It is broken into sections of disassembly and if you happen to only need to replace the switch or pump jump to those section if not start from the top and work your way down thru the reading material for reference. All parts that are replaced are OEM that is not modified by Hobie. But if you choose to go with Hobie parts I included them as well with the part numbers.
Any comments and opinions are welcome. |

I might need to replace my switch. Is that right? $13.75 for the part and the $13.75 for shipping!?

Yup, or take it down to OEX they'll take care of you and I believe it should be cheaper or something reasonable. Call them. One of my buddy had OEX replace the switch and said it was very reasonable.

Bypassed my switch months ago and not turning back. Pump seems to work stronger and I don't have to worry "what if" my switch breaks on the water. Already went through Two switches before I decided to go this route.

This us the way to go .
I did even better, I bought new pump refill cartridge from Walmart and ran wires straight to connector . No splices , and no switch . I should be good for a couple seasons .

I mean my switch is physically there. Just no wires to it. I did the same thing you did. But I'm stealth cause it looks like I still have a switch. Real tactical. |
