[C320-list] Bilge pump sensor - 2004 320

Brad, 
BTW, right across the river from you at Bowleys Marina. 
Had a similar situation although I long ago replaced the Jabsco bilge pump with the next model up, much more quite and reliable. my problem was with the float switch. It would intermittently either go off and not reset or not go off at all. Of course when tested with a hose it worked fine. I finally replaced it with the Plus model earlier this season and since have had no recurrence of the problem.

Hey everyone, 

My bilge pump sensor connected to the Jabsco bilge pump apparently keeps tripping open. Twice now neighbors have contacted me letting me know they had to "intervene" and shut it off. 

Anyone else seen this and if so, any remediation/ replacment ideas? Looking for part numbers if you have them. 

Thanks so much in advance,
