I have a newly purchased 1977 Catalina 30. Aside from some engine work, it's been sailing well.Last weekend I checked on the boat and found that my bilge pump was stuck on "on." The flapper valve seems to have ceased to start or stop the pump. I had cleaned out the bilge so I don't think it's a debris problem.What's my problem: Bad bilge pump or bad flapper valve? Can a mechanically challenged lawyer (me...) fix it himself?Thanks.
