    most of the time it barely pumps water, this really sucks when there is a LOT of water in the boat. the pump seems fine. it should be shooting out like a firehose!i have a 620t and i have always had this issue. wondering if there is a gravity issue or something? any suggestions would greatly help. i fish LOW alot and that is not a place to have pump issues thanks chief

    Have you followed the hose(s)? I’ve heard of kinked hoses in Rangers before.

    Yep
    good place 2 start

    also just unhook from pump
    and put a piece of hose on it and see if it has a good stream

    the impeller on the pump might B spinning free when under a load.
    U can pull and re-glue on

    If pump is making alot of noise I just replace them

    they R just plastic seals and do wear out

    In my case, left it on when moving and forget it
    gets warm and takes the plastic seal

    anyway good luck and let us know

    Check for kinks etc. as suggested and call Ranger and get a new pump. If the original is still in good working order, it is always nice to have a backup.
