[C320-list] Bilge pump not pumping

[Monte B.]

The reason you are getting trash in the bilge pump valves is because you do
not have the screen installed in the suction line that feeds the pump. Mine
was in the nav. Station table when the boat was delivered. Install the
screen in the suction line in the bilge and clean it regularly and you won't
have to disassemble the pump again.

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.
