Bilge Pump Testing
The bilge pump is vital to the safety of your boat. Test the bilge pump often as follows:
1. Turn On the bilge pump switch at the helm.
2. Make sure that water in the bilge is pumped overboard.
3. If there is water in the bilge and the pump motor is running but not pumping water, inspect the discharge
hose for a kink or collapsed area.
4. If the discharge hose looks okay, check the bilge pump and strainer for clogging debris.
