Try to follow the hose from the thru-hull that the fish-box drained out from and that may lead you to the pump. Also, if you can't get your head into the tight spots to have a look around, I've used my cell phone to take photos and videos in those tight areas. Also, a mirror might help as well.
The batteries should be strapped down. Aside from that, without knowing much about that model, it seems strange that Wellcraft would put in a plywood battery shelf/compartment. I'd certainly hold that as suspect.

Re: 1998 240 ccf. HELP!!! macerator pump location
So that makes me wonder, when you installed the new bilge pump, what thru-hull did you use? Seeing that you found the old bilge pump I'm wondering if you didn't install it in place of the fish well pump.
I don't know but if it were my boat, I'd think that the plywood battery shelf was aftermarket and in the worse case situation is hiding the pump you are trying to get at. It's got to be a rather well built and sturdy shelf to last this long and be able to support the weight of those two batteries. Hopefully the installer took into account that it would have to be removed and replaced on occasion. Here's what I found on the web that looks like what yours may have originally appeared (http://images0.boattrader.com/resize/1/ ... ?t=1198430).
BUT - My fish-hold boxes' hoses connect to a Y valve on the transom just under a hatch. In looking at the PIG (http://www.wellcraft.com/downloads/prod ... CCF_98.jpg) for your boat, it looks like you might have a hatch similar to mine and through that hatch at the transom might be what you're looking for.
