Just put a new shower sump on the boat - replaced the original since I moved the galley sink to drain overboard.
Issue I'm having is it will pump the water just fine, but the next time it fills up it may pump it just fine or the pump will turn on and pump nothing. I can push the float down by hand to turn it off and when I let go about half the time the pump will come back on and pump the water, other half the time it'll come on and run but not pump water.
Seems like the pump is getting air locked which is hard to believe, given that there is always water left in the sump when it's done pumping. Has anyone encountered this before or come up with a remedy?
Here is the sump I installed, a run of the mill Rule Shower Sump...
