    Nitro Z20 Pro Bilge Pumps

    Looking for some help.

    2016 Pro Package, situation out on the water this afternoon and learned a lesson regarding automative bilge. Do all Nitros have a second pump that is specifically for the automatic bilge? I have two pumps and only one has what appears to be a magnetic float switch. The manual pump is working fine. But nothing out of that second pump.

    I think I have a bad float switch but I'm trying to figure out how to test the float switch. They are both Johnson/SPX 1000 GPH

    Did you have enough water in the bilge? It takes more than you would think to activate the auto pumps

    Oh yeah, the drains plug came out at some point. We were about 4 hours into the day could get up on plane and she was full. Kicked the manual on and started pumping it out and headed to the launch for a quick fix. The auto side isn't working at all.
