we recently bought a narrowboat, she's 30ft, built by eastern caravans and narrowboats ltd. the boat came with a folder & all the pamphlets for all the appliances etc, there's one for a bulge pump, so we know there is a pump somewhere on the boat, it's hooked up to the 12v battery, and the wires for it run under the floor, the switch is on, etc. there's defo a pump down there somewhere, but how the heck do we get to it to check it's working & in good condition? short of taking the floor up? there's no hatches for the main bilge of the boat. most articles about bilge pump maintenance assume you're installing one for the first time, or that it's easily accessible (eg in the engine bay). the bilge is divided into three segments (the two outside ones are fuel & gas lockers) and dont have pumps in them any advice would be gratefully appreciated

I'm having trouble trying to locate a suitable bilge pump Single Pole +ve control switch for mounting in my control panel. What I'm looking for is a 12v switch that:- 1. Is normally "on" (to connect to the float switch) 2. Can be switched to "manual over ride" against a spring (and disconnecting float feed). 3. Returns to "on" when released. (i.e. Can never be inadvertently switched off) Prefer type fitting into circular hole around 1/2" diameter. Any suggestions/sources gratefully received. Thanks
