Hello everyone
I have just bought a 2001 tahoe q3 and i do not see the bilge pump switch on this boat, is it automatic?
or do i even have one?
Thanks

On my q3(it's an 01 also) it's right beside the nav light switch to the right of the steering wheel.

Thanks... figured it out, its the one switch that the letters were worn off and the bilge is hidden under the engine and doesn't work so there was no sound from the motor to listen for.

Re: Tahoe Bilge Pump

HI I have a (new to me) 2003 tahoe 215 fish and ski.
Question-- Can't seem to find where the bilge pump puts out the water. See 2 mesh screen covers on each side of the outboard (gold) and 2 hoses that come from the pump--assume that is for the live wells since they are under the water line.
The live wells will not fill and the pump will not get the water out but makes noise like it is working (just don't see any water coming out)
Any suggestions ? Also took on more water than I think I should have...could it be coming in from the live well holes?
Also is the pump automatic ?

much thanks for any response.
