my pod bilge pump is popping breakers and i am guessing my bilge pump is bad. 2022 model year. any hints on best way to remove pump? looks nearly impossible to remove from the observation port. looking inside the center lazarette i can see where the discharge passes through. is that the best approach? also, is there anything else it might be besides the pump before i remove it like the float switch? i assume the bilge pump has an integrated float switch/sensor but thought i would ask anyway.
