Similar story in 2016. Forward sump was not discharging. Could blow a water hose through the hoses fine. But pump would blow circuit breaker. Crawled into 18" square floor access and made like a pretzel for an hour replacing Gulper pump. Test with float and presto, discharge. OK Dear, I'm going to take a shower. When done with shower, water again in bilge and blown circuit breaker. Any guesses? OK scroll down...
Traced discharge line finding it pinched by factory in 2006!. Could not even get it out from pinch point. Cut it on both sides of crimp point and routed a bypass hose connecting the ends of the original. Problem solved. Well at least a new pump is installed now!
