I just recently purchased my first boat ('81 Ranger 330-V). The boat sat about 5 years and I'm trying to get everything tested and working before I take it out. When I switch the bilge pump on, I hear nothing but I don't really know how it's supposed to work.
Are the bilge pumps made to run with some kind of float switch? Will I not hear anything unless it actually has something pump? If so, is there any way to test it other than pumping water into the bilge?
Sorry for the newbie questions! :redface: I appreciate your advice!
