Somethings Running when Power is Off?

Postby BigDaddyRatty » Fri Apr 23, 2021 1:18 pm

2017 262 Fisherman:

I've noticed a sound coming from the stern that sounds like a pump running when the boat is completely shut down and batteries turned off. I looked to see what it is and can't determine the cause. Has anyone had this happen or know what's going on?

(I took a video and will share if someone could tell me how to post a video)

I think you have a stuck automatic bilge pump. Find it, wiggle it and see if shuts off.

You’re right, the flow switch is stuck. Tried flushing it will see if that clears it
