Keep it simple, do easy, simple steps first before more complicated steps.

Re: 2003 466 aft shower box pump not coming on when it should
Couple things to try:
1) Screaming hot water in the sump box. Take off the top, drain out the water, then pour super hot water in and make sure it goes to the top of the box. Hold the float switch down so it doesn't pump it out. Scrub around in there with a small brush and repeatedly lift and lower the switch to work in the hot water.
2) If that doesn't work, start with some dawn dish soap and hot water with similar process of scrubbing. A stronger degreaser would work also.
3) New float switch - measure what you have and get a new one. Amazon probably has what you need on your doorstep in a couple days. I replaced both of mine when I bought the boat.
I will say its a good idea to clean those boxes out occasionally. Soap scum builds up and does impede the float switches. The boxes can also stink because the AC drains into them so there's always water in there and you've seen that they aren't water tight so they just leak into the bilge.
