Our 29-2 came with the plastic pump under the sink, same as the 35. On both boats I replaced the pump with the small bronze PAR "Little Pal" pump, much more reliable. I kept the installation as built because I don't want anything from the icebox in the bilge. On BOTH boats we had a freezer pak leak in the box, it was good to be able to pump that out into the garbage.
