hi all, quite excited to be a new Glastron owner. Ran into my first issue this past weekend. About 12 hours on the boat. 2016 187.

The bilge was quite full after a hard rain and the automatic bilge kicked on (can hear the hum) but no water was discharging out of the boat. There was water movement in the bilge (I think related to the bilge pump). The pump intake seemed clear, and it's hard to see the discharge lines connection to the hull.

Any troubleshooting-type tips or suggestions to try before I haul it somewhere and pay someone to look?

Thanks! I appreciate any thoughts. I'd much rather be cruising than hauling it. :)
 
I would remove the pump and check for clog. You can't see the intake completely unless you remove it.
