Recently was "given" a 1993 Four Winns Horizon 180. I've never had I/O before so all new to me. Bilge pump quit. Someone had tie wrapped a Sahara s500 pump to a white cylindrical metal piece mounted upright below oil pan to bottom of boat. My guess is this was the mount for the original bilge pump? If so should I try to replace with OEM and use this mount? Is 500 GPH adequate or should I step it up to a higher GPH? The piece in question is is under water right now so no picture.

How about a pic? 500 might be OK, remember the rate them at the factory without raising the output hose. It'll be less depending on how high the output line is. I think they zip tied the new pump to the old one to make it easier for them to install.
