Where to shop next
Before checkout
Do not choose from the heading alone. Open likely product matches and compare title, image, SKU, MPN, and listed details before ordering.
Why is my bilge pump not working?
A bilge pump usually fails because of power, the float switch, a clogged intake, a bad impeller, or a wiring fault — not because the whole boat is “broken.” Check power and the float first, then the strainer and impeller, then replace only the failed part.
Fast bilge checks
- Is the pump getting 12V at the terminals when the switch is on or the float is lifted?
- Is the float switch free to move and not stuck under debris?
- Is the intake strainer clear of plastic, hair, or sludge?
- Does the impeller look cracked, melted, or missing vanes?
