bilge pump question

[seadooer2022]

There's no wire going to the pump, does it need power to operate?

I see syphon tubes #3 on your pic, they don’t need power

They are known as bailers. They operate on vacuum from the jet pump. THey work great and require no power and very littl emaintenance but they only work when under way.
