I have an '87 Ciera Sunbridge 2450. Had a few inches of water that accumulated in the forward bilge under the stairs. Had about 8 inches of rain over the past few days in Florida and I suspect it came in from the anchor line locker. I turned on the bilge pump, but there seems to be some obstruction in the discharge line. There is only a trickle being discharged overboard, but when I disconnect the hose from the pump, it is pumping a full stream. I'm a new owner, only had the boat a couple weeks and haven't even had it in the water yet.
Is there a check valve in the discharge line that could be stuck shut? It looks like I would have to remove the fridge in order to see where the hose connects to the thru-hull fitting. Can someone confirm this?
