It probably doesn't have terminal strips near the battery. Was the previous bilge pump switched from the console? You should have a switch at the console to turn on manually along with activation from the float switch.
I would only use ancor marine tinned ring terminals on the boat. You can get them from amazon and save money over west marine.
Ancor
Any wiring you use should be tinned copper as well.
While you are in there, remove the wing nuts off the batteries and replace with lock nuts.
Don't forget you will need a fuse on the wire from the positive side of the battery to the float switch of the bilge pump.

Okay, so get them and that terminal, and you'll be set

If that's for saltwater use I wouldn't use anything from the auto parts store. If you do. Make sure to coat the terminals with CRC Marine Grease. Not a bad thing to do either way though.
