2014 Nitro Z7 Sport Bilge Pump

[Carl Clark]

location for nitro z7 bilge pump.
i have a 2014 nitro z7 sport fish and ski boat with a dead bilge pump. i replaced the aerator pump 2 years ago, and finally found it and accessed it through the
circular port in the rear deck near the transom. I noticed it had a two part cartridge construction where the bilge motor is removable from the housing. does anybody know if the bilge pump is the same type that can be replaced without great problems? however, i can not even see where the bilge pump is located. does anyone know? Is this a diy project or do i need a pro to make the repair?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Z7, 2013 and both pumps are at the rear transom. I will attach several pictures.

I have a z19 sport and found mine almost directly under the gas tank won’t be able to get to it when it’s time not sure why they would place it there

I have a 2013 189Sport and mine is also right up against the gas tank. I haven't tried to get my arm down there but it's doubtful I can reach. Mine is one piece and the pump looks identical to the pumps that fill and drain the live well.

It seems the only access is from the round port in front of the outboard.

You can bet some engineer gets a good laugh every time they think about us having to replace things.

Hey Carl....I have a 2015 Tracker 175. My bilge pump is barely visible through the round access port. On the side of the pump is a small plastic release lever. Pull the lever out & up. This will release the cartridge, twist the cartridge counter clock wise & the cartridge will come out. CAUTION....be very careful not to break the release lever. You can order a replacement cartridge from Johnson Pump.
