I tried 5200 on my 1977 C&C 27 MKIII a few years ago and it peeled odd the fiberglass in the bilge. My new to me boat used a piece of 1" wide thin stainless which was bent 90 degrees at the bottom. The pump was screwed to that and a small hole or two were drilled high up where it could be screwed with short screws to the side of the bilge, or alternatively to something else. Essentially, a bracket. Seems to work well, and allows for pulling the pump easily.
