The yard where I keep my boat put it back in the water after the winter and did not check for leaks or plug in shore power to keep the batteries charged.. The stuffing box was leaking and eventually (2 -3 days) ran the batteries down and flooded the boat almost to the floor boards. No serious problems but the main automatic bilge pump no longer works. I have done all the usual trouble shooting things, (float switch, wiring, breakers, etc.) cannot find the problem. I believe the bilge pump is defective but I cannot locate it. Can anyone tell me where it is????

Please help if anyone knows where it is located.

Thanks

The original configuration with a generator placed the par recip pump on the plarform the hot water tank rests on. The float sensor is attached to an aluminum bar which is screwed to the athwartship member just aft of the gray water tank under the companionway ladder.
