checking out the bilge pumps on my new boat...<br /><br />can't post make/model, but have 2 of them, think they're 1000 gph.<br /><br />anyway, had a little water in the bilge from 24 hrs of hard rain the other day. had the wife power up and maintain the bow real high (hard to get water out of a very deep v hull). i sat in the back and watched the operation of my aft pump. as it did it's job, i noticed a small pin hole in the face that was spraying water back into the bilge.<br /><br />now i know it sounds dumb, but any chance that is there for a reason? i was ready to jump on patching it or just getting a new pump, but my dad raised this question. so just to be sure, i'm asking you. doesn't make sense a pump would have this "recirc" feature, but who knows. it did empty the bilge with no problem.
