New to boating and I should have checked deeper while we were at the cottage but got too dark.
Is there a bilge pump? Is it automatic or do I have to engage it?
Sorry, new to boating/seadoo, so learning as I go. If anyone has pics or can recommend an aftermarket pump and info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Boating newb.
 
I have a new to me 2003 Sportster. It does have a bilge pump, activated by the middle rocker switch.

I would think there is a manual and an automatic position. Mine only has manual on (single position rocker switch).

Can someone confirm:
Left switch- three position lights
Middle switch- single position bilge
Right- single position engine exhaust blower

I tried swapping the two position switch with the single position, but then the lights didn’t power on.

Thanks.
 
After constant research I got it figured out. The boat did have a pump. But it wasn't operational. I bought a new pump with a little more power 750gph instead of the 450 that was in there. I figured why not since the footprint was similar. I did have a he'll of a time getting out the original pump, mainly bc I couldn't see what/how it was attached. Anyway I pried it out lol. Connected the new one and what I assume was the auto sensor. And now it works perfectly.
I have a 2 position switch. Manual and auto.
