My bilge pump wasn't working right, you could hear it pump, but nothing came out. So I bought a new pump, and swapped it out. After swapping it out, the pump only dribbled water out. I thought the tube was plugged, so I bought a plumbers snake, and pushed the snake all the way through. After doing so, it dribbled water out, I turned it off and on, and it seemed to work correctly. I was doing this in my garage, and pumping the water into a bucket. When we'd go to empty the bucket I would turn off the pump. After emptying a couple of buckets, it stopped pumping. The water was still at least an inch deep, but it wouldn't pump any more.
Am I missing something? Shouldn't the pump empty out more water? there was still a good 15-20 gallons of water in there after it stopped pumping.
