Spring tune up on bilge pumps
2 Attachment(s)
Maybe someone has had to deal with this before..Just doing a little work on the twins and I thought it would be a good time to get to the pumps. The issue I was having was when I would turn the auto bilge switch on that pump would keep running. Would not do it all the time. Does anyone have any idea what side is the auto side or the easiest way to tell without pulling them both out or maybe I better just put a battery back in the boat . I may have to just stand on my head and see if I can read the side of them:drink:

Wow, pulling the heads to do bilge pumps is taking it a little too far!
I think you're going to have to hook the batteries back up. |

By the way I'm still trying to figure out how to get to mine as well. Standing on my head twisted like a pretzel and still can barely touch it, much less actually do anything to it. Mine tends to stay on at a vry low rpm, diffinte difference when I hit the switch. Temporary fix pull the fuse and install it on an as needed basis. Yes Pete I know so don't give me any crap

He's just working his way to the bottom of the bilge one part at a time. Bob you should've just pulled the whole engine then you would only have to lie side ways to tell and not have to stand on your head. :drink:

sounds like a bad float switch...if I remember right the power wire to the float switch is usually brown. given the fact that good bilge pumps can suddenly become the most important piece of equipment on the boat, and the fact that they are cheap...I would replace the pumps and float switches just for peice of mind.
