Default Bilge Pump

The family boat (no fishing allowed per Mrs. CI) which is a 20 foot Glastron was full of water after some very hard all day rains. I have an auto bilge pump, saw the water and tried to run the manual pump. Nothing. The boat is up on a lift so I knew it wasn't a leak. The engine is a 4.3 Volvo Penta IO and the bilge pump is way down in the engine compartment under the oil pan of that V6 engine. Did some testing and the Rule pump is shot so I will be trying to contort my aged body into a pretzel configuration to change it out tomorrow. Not looking forward to that.
