Not a job I have had to do, yet, but I think that if you remove the hoses the plywood sheet that has the three pumps (shower drain, bilge and freshwater) attached can be removed as one big assembly so you can then work on any of the pumps.

Easier I think to cut a new hole to gain access to the pumps then fit an inspection hatch cover into the hole, I’ve seen a couple of 760s with this mod. My shower drain doesn’t work although it doesn’t bother me, doubt I’ll ever be that desperate for a hot/cold/hot/cold/hot….shower anyway.

I love my shower which now has a repeatable and stable temperature thanks to the thermostatic mixer valve I fitted.

I was thinking the same what an awkward place to put them

but at least once you remove the whole assembly of pumps you will have easy access to service all three on the bench! They were all installed as an assembly together in production by Beneteau so it cant be too difficult. If you want to fit an inspection hatch, as Jamie suggested, then maybe Manthorpe Access Panel White 243 x 193 x 16mm

Have you checked the filter isn't blocked? The clear dome unscrews and you can wash out the metal filter.
Or is it the actual pump itself?

Thanks for all your posts I managed to undo the 2 main screws that hold the board to the Hull where the pumps are located . I removed a few hoses which allowed me to move the whole board to the door are. Ordered new kit for pump as motor is working but would consider a hatch for the future. Thanks all
