Put some sealer on the screws and you should not have a problem.
You could probably stick the pump in with sikaflex or some stylw PU adhesive/sealer if you didn't want to go drilling.
What boat is it?

What I done is this:
Drill small holes, fill them with silicon, then screw down your bilge pump.
Ran the +- into a separate on/off switch feeding off the battery
attatch a length of hose from the pump and drill a hole on your transom (HIGH UP obviously!) and fit the hose to it
