[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 451857, member: 12995"] We got a little more than an inch of rain overnight and I was paranoid about all the debris falling off the trees and getting in the boat could block the bilge pump or float switch. So early in the afternoon, I drove up to the dock to check on the boat. There was almost a foot of water in the boat :shock: and I didn't hear the pump trying to do anything. So I hopped in the boat (after removing my shoes and socks) and saw the float switch was not floating up. I reached around and found one of the wires for the float switch had blocked it from floating up. I moved the wires and secured them out of the way and helped bail with a bucket while the pump was running. We just had a couple more downpours tonight so I'm really glad I decided to check on it earlier. I almost talked myself out of it but the threat of more rain made me check on it. It's amazing how that gut feeling thing works. [/QUOTE]
