Just a reminder to check your bilge pumps every now and then, especially if they are the auto variety.

Just got done replacing the bilge pump cartridge in my 2 yr old boat. The bilge pump wouldn't come on the other day, either manual or auto, when I tested it washing the boat.

Got it out, and it does work...when it wants to, and I could hold the impeller while the motor stayed running.

Also checked the float mechanism for the auto switch.

Anyway, 30 bucks later and it was fixed.

Just a reminder to check these things, as well as your kill switch !!!
