Bilge switch

[Scott215]

On my 215 weekender it has a separate switch to turn on the pump. If I manually turn the switch on the float should the bilge pump turn on I think I have a bad switch but a can manually turn it on

Bad float switch

The pump turns on via EITHER the switch at the dash or the float switch. First check the fuse for the float switch. Then check the wiring going to the float and then pump (including ground). If all is good there, as Scof said, likely a bad float.

Yeah it manually turns on but if I grab the float on the side and a twist the switch up it does not turn on the pump thank you very much you guys are awesome
