Check to make sure the fuse is good and you have power going to the switch and then to the wires (brown for positive and black for negative) in the bilge area using a 12 volt tester. If you have power to the brown wire while grounded to the black wire then the pump will need to be cleaned, have the impeller replaced or replace the pump. The pump is located in the rear compartment attached to a board mounted to the inside bottom of the boat at the center near the transom.

SOURCE: Bass tracker fuse descriptions

I was trained at a tracker dealership and that is one of their faults. The best way to find the fuse for the bilge pump is to look on the back of the bilge switch and trace a wire to the fuse panel. Most of the time they are color coordinated so you can match fairly easy without trying to manually probe for the wire.

I need a manual for a 1988 Fisher bass boat...can you help me?

Most boats do not come with a manual for the boat itself. Each system on the boat has it's own manual/instructions. There should be one for the motor, one for trolling motor, one for depth/fish finder, one for stereo, etc. These manuals are usually available online or from the manufacturer. Likewise for other components such as bilge pumps, trim/tilt units, etc. The boat itself is just a piece of fiberglass with systems and components installed on it. You won't find a standalone owners manual for your rig with everything in it. They don't exist.

My bayliner 2455 1988 model leaks in the front of the boat.

Could be a broken bilge pump. You can find some answers on the boating forum.
