I am no expert, just lucky and dumb.

Yes, I thought the "hidden" bolt was the one holding the trim tab on, but the hidden bolt is hidden under the trip tab.

It will probably be Monday or Tuesday, the weekend is no good for me.

It looks like the last time out she sucked up a ton of sand, must have wiped out the pump then and that was the end for the last owner!

His loss and your gain!

But I hope all the sand came out cause it was pushed out by the new pump, and there was nothing left in there to hurt the new pump.
Which I am sure is the case cause you cleaned out the lower unit when you changed everything.

You be good to go now!! ;D

That previous owner (With his fake Italian marble countertop install), probably just powered through the sandbars when he hit them instead of trimming up or trying to float off!
