Accessing bilge pump on Sundeck 200

[derekbrown3]

G'day buddies. Does anyone know how to access, for maintenance, the bilge pump and float switch on a Sundeck 200? The pump and switch are directly below the engine and nigh-on impossible to get to. I'm thinking of removing the engine cowling since this will make access a bit easier, and then re-sealing the cowling with fresh sealant.

The pump and switch is in front of the engine on mine. I can reach the pump and switch by almost standing on my head reaching in the engine cover.

On my 190 I removed the cowling to get at the pump... It also helps to get better access to your plugs, which you might want to replace at the same time...
