What goes on bilge pumps is the float switch. I have had brand new ones out of the box not work. If they stick, scrap it, they are not worth the time to #^&#^&#^&#^& around with them.

I would change the impeller for the waterpump. I have this done *every* season...It is just rubber, and the heat, salt and friction takes it toll on it. While you are at it change the thermostat. (When these things go it is generally not at good time...why cheap out? Don't wait for it to crap out.)

Of course all oil, gearcase and fuel/oil filters need to be changed as well. I chage all that stuff every 100 hours.

I find those cheap live bait pumps crap out often...when you replace them, get a good one and it will last much longerand run better.
