Bilge Pump Question
I have a Rule 750 automatic bilge pump in my boat and found that someone (thing) cut the wire to it last night. I stripped the wire down and reconnected it. It comes on but I didnt see any water leaving through the port in the side, though I dont know how much water has to be in the bilge before it is effective. The water level in the bilge wasn't above the bottom blue part of the pump, so it was maybe an inch deep (I put the plug in and tilted the boat up on the trailer to pool the rain water in the bilge to test). I think I read somewhere that the Rule style pumps will leave an inch or so of water in the bilge due to the design, but were more reliable? I just want to test it to make sure that it is functional, though I'm fairly certain it is.
