there seems to be a square raised pad in the sole of the boat just under the front of the 4.3 engine. i can almost see screw holes in it... was this the factory pad placed under the fiberglss to mount the bilge pump?

my boat has a small, non float switched, bilge pump screwed to the bulkhead that divides the motor compartment and the gas tank compartment. i am replacing the pump with one that has a float switch, and is a larger size.


Before i create an angle bracket to mount this pump (it attaches on the bottom) i would love to know if that raised pad is designed to be the base of the factory bilge pump.

anyone know?

I dont have my boat handy but i'm pretty sure that is where mine is mounted.

Yep; makes sense to me!

thanks!

The bilge pump in my Z210 is mounted on the pad as you described it.
