has anyone ever changed they're bilge pump out of a 2005 captiva open bow 212? mine IS working but not on float sometimes, unless it get deep under motor. I can't see it or reach it but got a picture with my phone, it's a rule pump, not sure what size and float is a square covered one in white. the picture showed them caulked down to floor so if I can get to it I need the same brand in that size and unclick it and swap wires. how did you get to it without getting stuck or getting dizzy standing on your head for so long? HELP PLEASE!!!

    Maybe post the pic you took and it might help us help you figure out which pump it is?

    the pump looks to be a Rule style with the disengaging ears, but to get to it????? I think is the original.....it's on the same side as (behind captain's chair) walk through so even less room for my fat azz to reach in.

    On a different boat i had, I installed a new one in front of the old one, because I could not reach the old one. Just sniped the wire's and reconnected. The new location may have not been at the lowest point but it worked.
