I had water coming in the bilge pump on my boat the first time out last spring. I could actually go below and see the water coming in through the bilge pump hose while motoring. It stopped when we slowed down. What I have not figured out is why it happened the first time we motored, but not after that. I replaced the one way valve anyway. Dave
