Get a piece of flat aluminum stock from the hardware store, at least 1.5 inch wide.

Disconnect or cut wires going to old bilge pump.

Bend flat stock so it gets right beside the old pump and the other ends lays against a stringer or bulk head. Attach new pump to end of flat stock. Attach other end to stringer and connect wires

Might be the switch or the blower.
Using a voltmeter to see if your getting 12V to the switch and thru to the motor.

Runs and blows fuses ? Crud in the pump vanes dragging. take bottom cover off to repair...........WARNING !!!! The pump may start running without warning. Also check the float switch for binding.
REMOVE the fuse that runs the pump motor ! Pump will tear skin off fingers.
