Bilge and Baitwell pump warranties

[jergofish]

My 215 is now just a little more than a year old. I replaced the baitwell pump in April and the bilge pump has now barfed on the auto and is shorting on the manual mode. It will also need replacing. In looking at the on-line catalogues I see that Rule has a three year warrantee on their products. Any clue on how I claim the warrantee for the two pumps? At between $60 and $90 per pump, I'd much rather have the warrantee replacement than shell out the cash.

If under warranty, I would take it back to the dealer. If there isnt one near you, then i would suggest you contact Rule's customer service and see what they can do for you.

Jergofish needs an answer,now so do I, yesterday my baitwell pump quit working! My boat was bought in november 05, is the warranty still good? No mention of warranty on Triumph site...also looking at it, how the heck do you get to it without taking the gas tank out? IF that is it sitting opposite the bilge on the other side of the engine.

Yes that would be your baitwell pump. To remove it you do not need to un-screw it. The motor portion on the top of the pump can be squeezed on each side of the tabs which releases it, just pull upward at the same time and you will have it out.

Was there a warranty card for the pump in your manuals? If not you should contact your dealer to find out and/or check out the pump manufacturer's website.

I had the housing crack on my Rule bilge pump about two years ago (the boat was two years old at that point). I sent an e-mail to Rule customer service explaining when I bought the boat and the problem I had with the bilge pump. About ten days later, I had a new pump in the mail from Rule. Gotta love a company these days that really stands behind its products.
