I have a 2006 240 Outrage with macerator pump outs in the fish boxes that have stopped working. The motors sound to be still running, the raw water works (which I think runs off the same pump) but no water is removed from fish box and sent overboard.
I do not think it is plugged up but could be wrong.
Anyone ever have similar experience or any advice?
Thanks,
Brian
Just bought a Whaler last year and love it, just found this site.
Sounds like yours are running but not pumping. There is a impeller on these motors that can get burned up if run dry. This is likely your problem. I believe that you will need to pull the macerators to check the impellers on them. You access them through the 2 round portholes on the transom. You must contort yourself and you will bust your knuckles getting them out. You might consider pulling your boat, otherwise you might will sink it!! I think I paid about $90 each for replacement pumps. I think I'd just put new entire macerators in instead of replacing the impellers. This is a job you don't want to do often. I think i took and hour per side.
