Any Ideas?
I have a 1994 SeaRay 230 Sundancer with a 5.7L Mercruiser.
My bilge pump seems to be clogged. the motor hums, but no water!
I tried back flushing it. I bought the exact pump new thinking I could leave the base attached and just replace the top portion... Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough room under the oil pan to remove the pump.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Could be a shot motor, but sounds like there's something in there jamming it up. Remove and inspect. As far as "how"... well... that's easier for you to figure out than for me - considering the fact that I'm not there with you. But working on/around/in boats is often a compromise of skill and, quite often/more so, simply a matter of figuring out how to contort yourself into the proper position! :)
 
install the new pump next to the old location , replace bilge hose if you suspect a clog
