Re: 88 Ebbtide Dyna Trac
I have a similar boat and needed to change the pump. I am a BIG man but had no issues. I reached down and pulled the old bilge pump out of the base plate, cut the wires, laid them to the side, discarded the old pump and removed the old base plate. I just tore it out as the screws were rusted and I didnt want to distrub the soundness of the base floor/fiberglass. I bought an auto bilge pump that came apart (base and pump) I smeared some water proof glue/sealer on the bottom of the base and set it down inside the rear hold, not in the same place as the old one but still with the discharge outlet facing stern. I then taped off the old wires to not cause a short and ran two new wires direct from the battery terminals, constant power, no shut off switch to accidenty leave off was my goal. I let it all set until the next day. I attached the discharge hose to the outlet of the pump and snapped it down on the base........NOT A PROBLEM ...good luck
