I have a Pacific Hydrostar Shallow well pump - model number 47906. I use it for a hydraulic boat lift. When the lift is low the pump will turn on and pump for about 5 seconds and then it shuts off and will not come on again. I have a water hose pipe also attached to the pump that goes to a hose. If I turn on the hose the pump will come on for another few seconds and then stop again. If I try enough different ways with the hose I can eventually get the pump to come on enough times to raise the boat. Once it gets to a certain level then the pump will take over, cycle on and off several times on its own and finish the job.
The pump was pretty cheap, but it is similar to the one I had for several years previously that worked fine. In reading through some of the other posts I am thinking this might be a pressur eissue, but I'm not sure. Any help would be gretly appreciated. Jeff
