I have 98 370 ec and I get a Pump alarm occasionally from the emergency bilge Pump under the stairs. My marina mechanic thinks it is condensation water from the ac . Anybody else have that??
 
Is your sump box in that same area that takes care of your AC condensate and your shower drain?

If it is check it for slime and debris...... might not be functioning properly and overflowing.
 
Thanks, just replaced it. Got some water there before and after replacement. I’m thinking bathroom leak.
 
I had a similar situation this weekend, my dock neighbor was cleaning his sump so i thought I would look into mine, I wish i had the before pics as it was awful and overflowing into the bilge, so every time I got on plain the alarm would sound. The slim was stopping the float from engaging the pump - I took care of that using Mr. Clean antibacterial citrus and this the result.
Very pleased and boat smells much better, imagine that!

Very nice thanks for the photos, mine is new and ill keep an eye on it. i just kinda feel like my problem is leaking plumbing fitting. One of the marina mechanics feels pretty strong it could be condensation from the HVAC duct that runs through that compartment.
 
I had same problem. Fresh water pump was leaking. If your fresh water pump is nearbthisvarea then run the water in the sink and shine a flashlight on the pump.

Thanks Ill give that a shot. The pump is in the engine compartment, but it looks like there could be connection fitting there as well.
