  If the bilge pump won't run when the manual switch is activated on your Blackfin Boat, the circuit breaker supplying the switch might have tripped; reset the circuit breaker. The battery switch could be off; turn on the battery switch. The pump impeller might be jammed by debris; clean the pump impeller housing. Corroded wire connections in the bilge can also prevent the pump from running; replace connectors and secure them above the bilge waterline.
