[C320-list] Bilge pump not pumping

[Rick Evans]

Bill

Excuse my ignorance, I would assume the one way valve is in the pump section of the assembly. How would I go about checking getting it out etc???  

Thanks

If the pump is running and you can hear a bubbling sound coming from the bilge, it may be caused by a piece of debris caught in one of the round rubber one way valves.  I had a small piece of a stripped off wire stuck in mine.
