    Check your intake hoses to make sure they are not higher than the pump (if you do not have thru hull mounted pumps),Also pull the pump and back flush the hoses and check the impeller for trash and make sure they are still mounted to the motor shaft tight. And check pickup screen

    You might also have an air lock. Put the boat in reverse and hit your pump switch and see if that works. It will prime the pumps.
