Knee hit the Bilge Pump Switch, ran battery dead, Bad???

[cagnoli]

When I was putting the canvas back on my 220 Select this weekend, apparently my Knee hit the bilge pump switch, and I didn't notice it. It ran the battery completely dead. I'm pretty sure that there was no water in the bilge area when the pump was running.....did I smoke the pump? I don't really hear anything when I turn the switch on now, but the AMP gauge does show a draw of about 2 volts when the switch is on.

If I did smoke the pump, what am I looking at to get it fixed?

Thanks!
Chris

put some water in bilge and turn it on
it is noting difficult to replace pump
get exactly same kind, this way you won't have to replace base
just cut 2 wires going straight pump and connect new one using heat shrink butt connectors
"unsnap" old one from it base and put new one
