Re: Bilge Pump

Post by OldLifter »

I have a 2004 Cobalt Condurre 263 with a similar problem. My automatic bilge pump actuator does not appear to work. Manual bilge pump activation works fine. I located an AirMar transducer sitting on top of an open vertical pipe under the front of the engine that I assume is the automatic bilge pump actuator.
Anyone know anything about this ? is this the auto bilge pump actuator ? if so why is it sitting on top of an open pipe with water in it ?

Hey Oldlifter. So glad you found us.

The bilge pump in your 263 is located on a piece of square plastic under the rear of the engine. Sounds like the float is stuck. You need to reach under there from the port side of the boat and make sure the float moves up and down.

You may be able to see a pic here.

Any pics of your 263?

And welcome aboard mate!
