[QUOTE]tourneyman - 7/5/2015  10:02 PM

Looking for some assistance figuring out why my Lund Pro V 1900 boat was taking on water. While fishing today, the auto bilge pump kicked on after we were on the water for 4 1/2 hours. After it stopped pumping the 1st time, it kept turning on every 10-15 minutes and pumping until it satisfied the float switch. I mentioned about the 4 1/2 hours because it must have started today or it would have been pumping all day.   I fish from the rear of the boat and heard a pump running. I looked into the bilge area and noticed the pump mounted to the transom was running continuously.  I have no switch to control this pump. I have switches to control the circulating pumps for the live wells front and rear, but no switch for this pump.  It would stop when I turn off the main power switch.  While this pump was running is when the boat was taking on water. 
Does anyone have any information about this pump?  Is it supposed to be running continuously? If so, should I be looking for a cracked or broken hose?[/QUOTE]
