I noticed my automatic bilge pump was not working. Fuse was blown. It keeps blowing the fuses. I changed the bilge switch that is in the bilge. That did not do it. The fuses keep blowing. Any input on what else I can check ?

Ken, For starters, you might check to see if your pump shaft is free and rotates. Look and see if the pump impellers are jammed with any kind of debris. I wish you luck. John D.
