Heading out to the Block this morning I noticed my bilge pump light on, I stopped the boat and checked the bilge and there was about a 1/4" of standing water, as is the norm. I tried turning the pump off by the dashboard switch and had no luck. I finally pulled the fuse and headed back in. Got back to the slip and pulled the boat out to take a closer look. When I re-checked it at the house the pump was operating normal. Do these pumps ever get stuck on, should I replace the pump just in case?
