Sunfast Bilge pump

[richy]

The elec bilge pump on my recently purchased '02 SF 37 sort of works, but not particularly well. I've found that the hose is over-long, perhaps 6' longer than needed to reach the "well" in the cabin floor centre. Is this normal, maybe to use to hoover up water from other areas...or will shortening it improve things?

also, where is the elec pump physically located?

The electro pump should sit in the sump of the bilge under the floor of the centre cockpit. It's a submersible pump which should come on when it's covered in water. When turned on it will check for water every 2 or so minutes. The hose should be the exit out of the boat.
