Isn’t it right out front of the motor ?....Should be easy access.. stick with same model or a new version of the Existing model

TJ, you said "pretty sure"... is it ACTUALLY not pumping water? What exactly is it doing/not doing? Sometimes they just get clogged with junk from a dirty bilge.

I had an problem with my 2006 Sundeck bilge pump recently.
There is a pump and a float switch to check. They are reachable by removing the motor panel and reaching under the motor. Lift the float switch and see if the pump engages. The pump is removable to see if it is clogged. My problem after all these preliminary steps was the bilge pump switch on the dash.
Found this out by filling the bilge with water from a hose and waiting to see if the pump engaged, which it did proving the switch was the issue.
Good luck!!
