Now when the pump runs, you should see water coming out of the three drains.
The pump is a centifugal pump and needs to be primed, which is what I just described.

Re: AC on 3807 has been fited with thermostats, how to start pump first.
I agree with the above. The pump is controled by the board and will only operate when the compressor switches on.
If you're sure the pump is running and you have water getting to the pump, have someone standing by at one of the ac control panels in order to turn off and on at your command. Slightly loosen the screws on the front of the pump face and have the person turn the ac on. Continue loosening screws until the pump starts forcing water out between the two halves. You will note the difference in the sound of the pump when it actually starts pumping water through the system. Tighten the screws as quickly as possible as it will get messy so be prepared. if it gets out of hand, have your partner shut the ac off. After it's tightened up again, confirm operation by turning one of the units on again after allowing the system to rest for about 15 minutes so you're not forcing the compressor to deal with high head pressures.
It should be noted that on my 3807, the salon and aft units discharge right at the aft waterline. You can barely see or hear the discharge unlike most applications that shoot out the side of the hull. The forward unit does discharge out the side at the bow.
Yes you have two 50 amp services.
Hope that helps.

If you have water at the pump, it will flow. Unless the lines a plugged up with junk. A buddy had that issue, and he did have a large Perko strainer before the pump.
