    What to do if MasterCraft Water Pump delivers little or no water?
    • A

      If your MasterCraft Water Pump is running but not delivering water, several factors could be responsible. Low line voltage can cause this issue; check the wiring from the main switch and contact your power company if needed. There might be something caught in the impeller, so remove the pump and clean it. Worn or defective parts, or a plugged impeller, could also be the cause; clean the impeller or replace the pump. Ensure that if a check valve is installed, it has a vent hole and is installed correctly. Additionally, a restricted intake screen can impede water flow, so remove the pump and clean both the screen and the impeller.

    Why does my MasterCraft 62-3518-4 Water Pump start and stop too often?

      Zachary SandersAug 13, 2025
      If your MasterCraft Water Pump starts and stops too frequently, it could be due to backflow of water from the piping; in this case, install or replace the check valve. Another possible cause is a faulty float switch, which would need to be replaced.

    Why won't my MasterCraft Water Pump start?

      Several issues could prevent your MasterCraft Water Pump from starting. First, ensure the pump is properly plugged into a functioning outlet. A blown fuse could also be the culprit; if so, replace it with a fuse of the correct size. Low line voltage might be the problem; check the wiring size from the main switch. If the wiring is adequate, contact your power company. Other potential causes include a defective motor or float switch, both of which would require replacement. Finally, check the impeller for any obstructions that may prevent it from turning; remove the lower pump body to locate and clear any blockages.

    What to do if MasterCraft 62-3518-4 Water Pump won’t shut off?

      If your MasterCraft Water Pump won't shut off, a few things could be wrong. A defective float switch is a common cause, and replacing it might solve the problem. There could also be a restriction in the discharge pipe, so remove the pump and clean both the pump and the piping. Check if the float is obstructed and remove any obstructions. Also, a restricted intake screen can cause this issue; remove the pump and clean the intake screen and the impeller.
