a loose or corroded wire at either end is also possible.

I can manually operate the diaphragm, and it will move water out of the 
boat.  I didn't have a meter with me yesterday to check for voltage, but it 
seems that either the motor has died, or it's not getting power.

No fuse I'm aware of. 

The pump probably has some debris jammed in it. 

It is very simple to remove the plate covering the pump chamber. Remove that 
and you'll probably find a chunk of fiberglass or something that prevents 
the pump from running.

My bilge pump has stopped running.  Is there a fuse somewhere between the 
battery and the pump or just the breaker in the panel?
