bilge pump failure

    Where the heck is my electric bilge pump?

    I have now owned a 2008 Beneteau 37 for a couple of years now, and this weekend, my bilge pump failed. There is an Rule-a-matic float switch in the bilge itself, and a hose with a nozzle that sits in the bilge itself, but I can't find the darned pump. And, I'm amazed at how tricky this...

    Electric bilge pump runs but does not draw water (Beneteau 31)

    The bilge pump on my Beneteau 31 does not draw water. The electric pump motor seems to be working but it will not pump out the bilge. Am thinking that the pump mechanism may have failed or been damaged over the winter (on the hard). Has anyone experienced this? Solutions? Thanks.
