Swapping out a livewell pump on a 2013 Ranger Reata

pump is easy to get too, but the connector is way to the back under the oil tank. Any ideas as to get to it. Remove oil Tank??? Thanks

Should be connection on each end of pump. Changed quite a few & never seen what you describe. Pic available?

there is connections on each pump, but there is 3 ft of wire that goes to the back of the boat before the connector, unless they unplug right at the pump. there is a small rubber boot on the pump where the wire go in. I didnt try pulling on them

I can send u a pic

Bill – attached is a pic from my current ‘10 1860 Angler. My previous 620, 619, 618 and other 1860 configuration was similar. Intake to pump (#1) then outage port runs to valve body then front or rear live well (#2).

Hope this helps. Not familiar with the “connector that runs back under the oil tank” as you describe above.

Both in and out ports are as this picture shows, from my limited experience.

Thanks Kurt. Thats what I have. I’m an Electrician buy trade. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier. Going to just cut wires, replace pump, and re-splice using marine heat shrink connections. Like I said, the factory connections are very hard to reach, so not even going to try. Thanks again for the info
