Bilge pump

[Paul]

Last year I replaced the bilge pump because the pumpe could not blow out the water any more.The new pump work good last year. This year the problem is there again.The pump can not ampty the bilge anymore. The pumpe seems not to be strong enough to blow the water out from down the bilge to out the boat +/- 2 meter high.Does anyone know the problem and wath is the recommended pump to use.Thanks in advance for any information

Bilge Pump Problem

First thing I would check is the ground for this device and also the main ground for your 12V DC system.Are you having any other problems with guages or other devices working intermittently? If so it definitly is a ground problem.
