As all Simer users know, they are not run dry protected. I’m usually always well aware of when my pumps are running and I can hear a distinctive sound difference when the sacs are empty. Well yesterday I must have had a few to many and I had the music up and I forgot that my locker sac was draining. About 10 minutes after the sac had drained I realized the switch was still on and I thought for sure I had burned up the pump. My only hope was that it blew the inline 30 amp fuse. Sure enough the fuse was blown, so I swapped fuses with my other pump and it still works! I still need to test it out on the water to make sure the impeller is OK, but at least the pump still runs.

Has anyone had this happen to them? Was the impeller OK?

You may have damaged something a bit, but it will probably still work OK. Mine got down to like 3 blades on the impellers and still got the job done, but slow. You can buy rebuild kits ($10 or so) and complete replacement heads ($25 or so) from BE Atlas.

Trace, is the rebuld kit just an impeller?

It's an impeller, 2 wear plates, cam housing, and O-ring.

Call Simer and get the part numbers for the above mentioned and keep them in the boat. Very easy to change. I bought like four of each part to keep on the boat, cost was like $14, from Home Depot.

I have done this to my Simer pump on several occasions (oops) and the only thing wrong so far has been the fuse.

Thanks for all the input. D. Cooper, does Home Depot stock these parts?

No they just special order them. I had to call for part numbers and they ordered... took about a week but, if you order them from the store and pick them up there are no shipping cost. I am sure BE Atlas can get them to you but, w/ shipping.

I bought two spare impellers when I installed the second Simer in my old boat, they were still in the package when I sold the boat.
