Subject: Bilge pump
Info: (8209 views) Posted: Wednesday 10-14-20 12:14:09 PM
Hi all,

My boat still has the original guzzler bilge pump. The pump never seems to prime when pumped. After taking it apart, it appears the inlet and outlet valves are in good shape and the main pump membrane is not leaking. I don't see any air leaks anywhere on the pump.

It just seems to be able to pull just enough air in through the inlet valve (like maybe it's too stiff and the movement of the air doesn't push it closed?)

Does your pump work, and if you replaced it what model did you replace it with?

Thanks,

Bryan
