Before I try to access my bilge pump, I was hoping someone else has done this because it seems a bit radical. The way I see it, you have to take the Live Well out to get under to the bottom of the boat where the pump is. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

Yes, that's the only way, must remove livewell. Then the reach is really tough, if you are tall with long arms, you can get it. Otherwise, do what I did, took it to my local shop and they sent out "Slim" who dived down into the well, changed out the pump and charged me $90.00.

That's what I figured. I took out the live well, which was a pain in itself. Now to see if I can get the pump out without falling in ;)
