Rob,
There should be three wires coming off the bilge pump. One is ground, one is
for auto and the other is for manual (they should be color-coded based on your
operating manual — they may even have “flags” on them. Check the voltage on the
manual one when the switch is on. It may be the connection there, a blown
inline fuse, or the breaker on your switch panel.
It’s most likely the connection or a blown fuse.
All the best,
Edd

My electric bilge pump has 3 settings, Auto (with a float to activate), Off,
and Manual. I turned on the Manual setting and the pump didn't come on. It
does work in the Auto setting....if I fill the bilge to lift the float or raise
it by hand, the pump works.
Since and I am no electrician, any ideas where to look for the problem?
