Do you hear the motor running? If so it might just be plugged with debris.
Have you tried forcing water through it in reverse through all the holes? I had a bunch of leafy goodness jammed in mine that I found the other day. I also tried using weed eater line to clean it out but couldn't get it far enough in.

I tried water but no luck, maybe I will try the weed eater line. I think it may be something else though because it never worked from day one.

did you check the breaker. the breaker kicks on my bilge pump once and while. the reset is under the black caps above each switch. sorry if you have already tried that. but it is difficult to tell with the limited post. do you hear the pump kick on at all. does the switch on the aerator light up.

If it hasn't worked from day one then it is probably something defective that you won't be able to fix on your own. bad wiring, or switch or pump.

Yup, I hear the motor and the switch lights up. Im wondering if there is some kind of cap on the intake that the dealer may have forgotten to remove.

There is a cutoff valve in the engine compartment, you must turn on. It is next to the port engine. Becareful, my hose had a loose connection on the opposite end. Water leaked all in the engine compartment before I realized it.

Thanks JKP, the valve was the problem.
