paulgw,
There's an old moto to go by when you own a boat. "If it ain't broke don't fix it." There's plenty to do on one without fixing what works. The bilge pump should be pumping bilge water out close to the gas cap above the water line on your port stern. What you see may be the pump hoses going to the baitwell. What you can do on your 170CC is install a larger access plate in your splashwell or put a second access plate on the other side to help getting the bilge pump out to service. You can get almost any size round access plate at boater's world, etc. I skinned my arms up several times before I replaced the access plate. Good Luck!
