A bilge pump does not run continuously. If you have one that is running all the time it is not working properly. Running all the time will wear it out.

What is a bilge pump on a boat?

A "bilge pump" is not automatically on a boat. Every boat does however have a bilge area. It is the area in a boat's hull where water collects. This area is seriously recommended to have a "bilge pump" in it on every boat to pump the water out of this area while on the water. Bilge's have drain plugs on the back of the boat for when you take it out of the water to fully drain it.

If your engine is a sportjet, it probably has a bilge siphon system that connects to the pump. If so, the siphon hose must be "looped" from the pump above the water line, then back down to the bilge. This should prevent water from backwashing through the hose into the bilge.
