Replace bilge pump sportster

[mikerino]

Hi guys, the bilge pump is orange and hard to get at. How do I get it out? Do I turn it and pull it up? Does anyone know what brand it is?
Thank you. Mike in NH.

Well first we need to know what year it is....
Is it an automatic bilge pump or does it have a float?
Make sure it is the bilge pump and not the float or evena fuse.
To get the pump out, usually it twists off or pulls off. I would need a pic to see what pump it is. Pull the old one out, diconnect the hose, make sure its clear, then clamp it on to the new pump, splice the new pump's wires to the boat's electrical, and away you go.

Its a 2007. If I just knew the trick to pulling it out of there. I can twist it a little bit but thats it. There is a box next to it that some wires from the harness go to, that must be the float. I am new to the jet boat thing, that pump is hiding back there a little.
