2019 Grady Freedom 285. I opened the raw water seacock and flipped the switch at the helm but did not get any pressure in the hose. Could the pump be bad? Do I have to have the live well seacock open as well? What are some of the more common or knoen issues with the raw water pump and syatem? Thanks
 
Do you hear the pump running?

If you have two seacocks, as you stated, then you have two pumps, correct? Did you open the correct seacock?
I will go back to the boat today and double check the seacocks and keep the bilge access open and listen carefully!!! Thnx
 
If it doesn't work, it's either a voltage issue (switch, fuse or connection) but I find it is usually the pump.
