Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if the bilge pump on the Hurricane 217sd has an automatic float.
I am new to boating and just learning my way. I've had my boat for a few months but think that I may have a bilge pump problem.
I didn't know to briefly run the bilge pump before we go out each time. I ran it for the first time today and it discharged water for a 10 - 15 minutes. With that much water in the bilge, i thought that the pump would have automatically turned on.
Afterwards, we took the boat out for about 3 hours. when we got back, I ran the pump again but no water discharged.
Question: Is the bilge pump on Hurricane boats automatic and should it have cut on by itself?
FYI. I have a sd217 ob. I take it out once every couple of weeks. It is permanent dock at a marina on the Great Lakes.
Thanks,
Paul Bolden
