Re: Bilge pumps 1987 3607
1) Works continuously by selecting the on position at the helm or automatically when the float switch is activated.
2) Pump runs automatically every 10 mins or so for a short period, if there is water the pump senses this because of the higher amp draw from pumping water as opposed to spinning freely and remains on until no water is left. These pumps cannot be turned on to run continuously which sounds like what you have.

Re: Bilge pumps 1987 3607
If someone replaced the pumps though you could have the situation where midnightsun describes where the pump will only run for so many seconds then shutoff if it doesn't detect a load.
I suspect that the "switches" you're describing on the main panel and in the aft closet are really the circuit protection breakers. The ones in the aft closet would be wired directly to the battery (maybe at the battery switch) and provide power for the automatic operation and the ones in the panel would be providing power for the manual activation via the actual switches at the helms.
