This is what I did last year. I just moved the connector from the stock Rule unit to a cheap Bass Pro Unit. Worked just fine. The Bass Pro unit even clipped into the same basket as the Rule unit. Just cut the wires off of the old broken one, and soldered them onto the leads from the new pump. Plugged into the factory harness, and actuated with the dash switch.On the ar195, the bilge pump is a generic item. Have you pulled it to find the oem model? The one thing you might have to do is transfer the yamaha connector.
The OP has a 242X so its run through the Connext screen and has the option for OFF/AUTO/ON already.If you are going to replace the oem bilge pump I recommend getting one that gives you the option to switch It on manually in addition to it cycling on automatically every few minutes to check for resistance against the impeller. This is what I did on my waverunners and previous boat and what I may do this off season to my current boat with replacing the simple on/off switch on the dash with dual action version.
Didn’t know waverunners came with a bilge? I guess I need to look closer at mine but I am pretty sure I have no dash switch unless it’s the fully automatic one and does not need a manual switch.

The boat has a rocker switch to turn the bilge pump on and off. The waverunners have oem pumps but no manual on off switch. I’ve added new pumps and manual switches to each.Didn’t know waverunners came with a bilge?

Not sure the connector, but were it me, I would just snip off the connector and get some crimp-on connectors and hook up the new pump. Be sure to not let the connectors sit in the bilge, as they are not waterproof (unless you take the extra step of putting heatshrink tubing over the connector--which is recommended). I even have some butt connectors that are just heat shrink and have solder in the middle of them that make a waterproof seal and then solder the wires together. Lots of options there. I would not let a connector stand in the way of a working bilge pump.
I understand. For emergency purposes, I would carry a wire cutters and a couple of wire nuts... And a manual bilge pump (your connector and pump will be underwater when you discover it is not working). But that is just me and my cheapness.![]()

The switch on my '17 AR190 just supplied 12V+ and Ground to the pump. Any pump/switch assembly you wanted to be back there is fine, just have to wire it in appropriately.
Bass Pro Unit was a simple "on/off" style not an auto pump. So I only ran it for a few weeks while I was waiting on the replacement from the dealership to come in. Here's the new one next to the old one. Maybe you can pull a PN from this and it will help source from someone other than the dealership.

I have the receipt from the dealership at home. The new pump DID have a new number. Remind me tonight and I'll try to dig out the receipt and scan it in for you.
I'll try to remember to dig that reciept out of the box tonight. No promises. I've slept and drank since I made that post, and I'm not 100% certain that receipt got filed. I might still be in our "to be filed" stack (which is currently about a foot deep).Can I get the new number please
