    Bilge Pump Location/ Floats that control the Bilge pump

    My bilge is running non stop... where are the floats that ignite the bilge to start working.... i am trying to see if trash is blocking it or holding the float up.

    Where is it located?

    Mine are located between the drivers and passengers seat, and I have had problems in the past with them staying on. Usually it is trash holding the float up. As I recall there are two pumps and one float if I'm thinking right. Anyway check there and I bet you have er fixed in just a few minutes.

    yeah Mine hangs up at least 1X every tournamnet...
    usually, its hung on because the float is submerged in water, and the bilge pumps have lost their prime some how...
    so i remove the console/step pop out one of the pumps thats running let it suck air for a minute, then when you pop it back in, it syphons the air out and immediately pumps the water out...and i'm good till next tourney...

    mine should be straight now. it has a small piece of wood or something down there... it was just sucking the life out my battery, not too mention just burning the pumps up.
