3800 Open Water Tank Question
#4
Try blowing into the suction hose until you hear the FW tank bubbling. Then reattach and try the pump again. You may need to prime pump depending on which type you have. If it works then you know the sediment is the problem. I’ve had to do this a number of times as the sediment blocks the pickup and now clean out my tank every couple of years. You can pull the sender and stick a small plastic tube connected to a shop vac to draw out the sediment.
