Is this sump pump repairable or must the whole unit be replaced? I tried to get the top off it and it seems glued to the box.
Also is this pump's only purpose to pump out the floor drain of the head? I am still looking and can't find a thing that would drain the cabin of my 250 Sundancer Sport Cruiser. I see water down around this sump and no way for it to get to the pump since the box containing it is sealed. Is there at least a drainage somewhere under the cabin that allows water to drain back to the engine bilge for pump out?
In the midst of refurbishing I have a fresh battery connected with most 12v systems working, but the sump, full of water, is not coming on automatically at it should. Should I replace the whole unit or is it possible to force the box open to service components like float switch or the pump?
Thank you,
