    Alpha one, Gen 1 trim wire retainer bolts?

    If it had two bolts, it's wise to put both back in. I know how frustrated you can get doing that job. I have a box of sacrifical tools that I heat, bend, configure to get at those hard to get at places.

    Deckliner VIP bilge pump?

    If it's under the motor, it may have to be abandoned. you can attach a new one to an alunimum flat bar and slide it down there in it's place. If it gives issue, just slide it out. I usually fix the end sticking out to the stringer with ss screws.
