| Post subject: | Where the heck is my bilge pump? |
Just got my 278 this Saturday. Everything seems to be working EXCEPT there is a fresh water leak (I'm gonna try to track that down next weekend), and the bilge pumps aren't working. I found the forward bilge under the floor in the "stateroom", but I'm not finding one anywhere in the engine compartment. Looked for a water line, looked for electrical wires, I see nothing. Can someone chime in and help a newbie find his aft bilge pump? Thanks! |

I don't have a Vista but I bet it is under the engine in the engine compartment where you can't see it. |

What does your owner's manual say ???? Single engine newer 278's it's under the engine, older model 278's with twins it's between the engines. |

It's a 94 and I won't have my hands on the owners manual until next weekend. |

Must be the rare big block single engine then ? Most had twin 5.0L V8's or 4.3L V6's. |

Mine's a '98 with twins and it's right in back of the fuel tank bulkhead and there's a glassed-in plywood block for mounting it. It's clearly visible (Not easy to get to when changing unless you can hang upside-down...LOL) when looking down in front of the engines. |

Mine's a 95 and the pump is smack dab above the keel just to the aft of the fuel tank, with an external float switch. |
