Bilge pump on a chris craft

I have a 97 17' Chris Craft and the bilge pump is no longer pumping
water (just a little bit is drizzling out), and the light is staying on
all the time. Is there a filter on them that gets clogged up and needs
to be cleaned? Or does the bilge pump need to be replaced? If I do
need to replace it are they hard to replace?
