Bilge WAS the problem

[Rizzo]

Thanks to all those who offered guidance on my fuse/bilge problem. Took the bilge apart tonight, once I got the motor off the base she hummed nicely. Put it back together. Nothing. Do this 3 times. Blow through it. Nothing. Finally found a small piece of plastic lodged way down in there. Took it out and she worked like a charm! Go to mount it on the base again and can't seem to mount the thing...turns out the little piece of plastic that was jammed in there was a mounting tab that had broken off! Oh well, boat stays indoors so only need the bilge on those rare rainy fishing days anyways. Its not mounted on the base anymore but I'm sure if I put a bag of sand on it it would stay put (not a lot of space down there anyways).

There you go, a little elbow grease and you saved a bunch and learned a bit along the way..
