Bilge Hose Size

[dwna1a]

My stern bilge pump has failed and I'm trying to order a new one from BOE tonight.

If anyone is near their WE any you have a Genset can you help with two things. I need the hose size and the height limit for the rear bilge pump. It sits under the Genset muffler.

1 1/8" is fairly standard for most pumps.

Nick it's the plate that the Wester muffler sits on and how much clearance I will need. I'd hate to buy it and have to send it back.

The float is working, the pump comes on but no water moves. The helm switch set at manual nothing happens at all. I'm pulling the old pump first thing in the morning. If it's failed I will place the order ASAP. I have four other pumps in the bilge but that one is the lowest point, it must work!

I would verify power before calling it failed.

Nick the power is fine. I pulled the pump yesterday and cleaned the living hell out of the area. Took a wet vac sucked up all the junk.

It started working again but will not come on from the three way switch at the helm. That will need to be replaced. The pump is getting weak but working. I am going to order a new pump to have it ready to go and order a new switch
