Yeah, if there is water coming out the feed hose then the pump head is shot. I don't know what kind of pump it is but most of them can be repaired if the head is bad. Take it out, take the top apart from the motor body and take it to your local Boat US or whatever-they usually have repair kits for about 1/3 the price of a pump. If you can hear the pump run then it is most likely a bad diaphragm or valve.

Unless the pump is relatively new I would just replace it and not waste the time to rebuild it to have another part go bad. I have rebuilt these pumps before and it isn't hard. But like I said you could have another part go bad. If you buy a new one and it doesn't work you can take it back.

It's a 2002;)

Yeah, it's a 2002. Bruce at the factory told me to call him if I could not get it to work. Maybe he will warranty it for me.

Thanks for your help everyone!!

Try cycling the switch on and off and wack it (not too hard!!) with a rubber mallet.
I'll call you tomorrow to make specific plans, but I'll look at it when we stop by tomorrow.

Hugh at Offshore Performance (where I bought it) told me to do this:

"stuff a rag around the fill opening/garden hose nozzle
to seal it as good as possible, then run the pump.
This should force just enough water into the pump to
help it prime."


It WORKED!!!!!!!!! :D

Thanks for all your help everyone!!
