Could anyone please tell me where the bilge pumps are located on a DE45? I have two breakers marked 'auto bilge pump' and 'manual bilge pump' and both have now quit. I suspect a disconnected wire, but it would be nice to know where the actual bilge pumps are.

Not sure about the 45, but on my 38 I had a submersible under the engine and a "high and dry" pump behind the batteries that fed to the bilge below the engine.

Like Erick I have a DE45. I also have a diafram pump behind the batteries that pulls from the bilge. I did not have one down in the bilge though.

On Eolian (also a DE45), there is a manual diaphragm bilge pump located under the floorboard in the aft cabin, just aft of the shaft log.  And there is an electric bilge pump located in the sump below and just aft of the engine.
