Hi, is the Bennet M120 kit too big for a Sea Ray 180?

I have 176 bowrider and the bilge pump has stopped working, fuse is ok and there is a light on the switch.
as pump is under the engine, access is appalling, I can only just see the pump.
has anyone any ideas about what I should do and what I should check, as pump is automatic as well as manual there should be a fuse somewhere in addition to the one on the control panel.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

you were quite right, it was an electrical fault-- the inline fuse had blown, it is quite annoying that the manual never advised me where the inline fuse was situated and I had to do 'handstands' in the engine compartment in order to trace the wires back to the fuse.
Also there should be instructions on how to service/repair the bilge pump if ever the need arises. As the pump is situated under the engine in a very cramped compartment it is almost impossible to see it and everything has to be done by feel.
many thanks for your advice.

.. and these 2 days made me feel real fortunate to have made that move
My friend installed the SX smart tabs on his 2007 185 sport and the actuator was mounted on the same plane as the upper mount. However, when I tried to install the SX version on my 2000 190 signature the upper mount would not have been on the same plane. I called Nauticus and John recommended the stainless smart tabs so I returned the SX model and got the SS ones and have been very pleased with them for over a year now. I paid a little more and had to buy two anodes for them but I can say they were the second best investment in my boat after the swimplatform (and just ahead of my two battery setup with combiner).Has anyone fittet smart tabs to their 180, the new SX version?
I can see in their fitting instructions that the actuator has to be on the same plane that the hinges are....?
Is there a way around that?
