Without seeing your setup, I can only offer speculation on what I would do if it was my boat. So with that said, I would cut out the area of the cockpit where the pump is mounted and remove it. Then I’d take a piece of 1/4” G-10 to cover the hole that you made and mount a new pump and hose fitting on the g-10. Then I’d paint it with a matching color and mount this new plate on the boat with finish washers and screws. You may have to epoxy in a couple backing plates to take the threads of your screws. Some 3m 4200 to seal the seams and keep it water tight is a must too.
This way, if your pump dies again, you can just remove the whole access plate and all the guts come out with it. Some marine plywood on the backside of the plate would help to mount the pump to the plate so you wouldn’t have extra holes and hardware on the exterior of the plate.
