While winterizing my 2023 Imagine XLS 23BHE I wasn't sure about the process for the under sink drain pan and pump. I got to looking and thought that maybe I should give it rinse before winterizing, boy am I glad I did! Here are the steps I went through and some other information about the bilge pump itself that I was able to find on the web;
Here it is nested on the shelf at the back of the undersink cabinet. Mine was wired with easily removable wire taps and basic hose clamps. A #2 square drive bit and 5/16 nut driver got it taken apart easily.
If you zoom in here you can see the wire taps flip open and the wires come out no problem. Take a pic of yours before taking apart so that you can rewire it correctly.
NASTY! We are careful to fully scrape anything that gets washed but that is a lot of scuz. The assembly comes apart easily allowing for cleaning with some dish soap. I removed the screen and pump from the pan and used a soft brush to get all the crevices.
All cleaned up. I took a photo of the bilge pump to help me look it up later as I have read in quite a few threads of these pumps failing. Also of note is the check valve inside the drain port. I inspected this to make sure no debris would hold hold it open.
The pictures may not make sense until you begin the process. But the process and pieces/parts are relatively simple, you can do it. The worst part is access and the screw holding it to the shelf that is closest to the wall, what a pain! I did think about relocating the unit but decided to put it on the "maybe someday" list since I needed to get a bunch of pre-winterization stuff done. I've posted some links below for a replacement pump on amazon as well as the brochure from the manufacturer of my unit: Seaflo 750 GPH
model# SFBP1-G750-06. Hope this helps.
