Replacing Macerator Pump C28

[bchristie]

2014 C28: I need to replace the macerator pump. The existing pump is mounted to the backing panel so low that I can't access the two bottom mounting screws. I will need to raise the backing panel just a bit to gain access to the screws. How is this mounting panel secured at the bottom? I see one mounting screw at the top of the panel but do not see similar fasteners anywhere else on the panel. Thanks for any guidance with this issue.

Can you see the two bottom mounting screws? If so, would using a small ratcheting side screwdriver be possible? Something like https://www.amazon.com/425-5B-Straight- ... D_BwE&th=1

Thanks for the ratcheting screwdriver suggestion. I have one of these and they often are helpful. But in this case the pump has literally 1/16 of an inch clearance; no room for any tool access. The pump must have been installed on the vertical panel before that panel was secured to the vessel. Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
