Bilge pump issue
Is there a check valve and the bilge pump hose? When water is pumping out it sprays like something is stuck in there Tried sticking a long screwdriver in there but only goes in a inch or two.

I don't believe there is a check valve. Try some string trimmer line down the hose.

Weed wacker line just "feel" the hose from it's outside connection in. Could be a nest of something in there.

My guess is mud daubers

Thanks everyone I will try that when I get home.

Just added a secondary bilge pump and replaced original, no check valve. Usually the mud daubers are not too far in..long zip tie, lightweight snake should do..I trailer, so when its in the driveway all ports get plugged, especially the pissers.
