Sheared bolt in impeller housing area

I was doing some routine maintenance on my 2020 Sea-doo Spark and ran into a bit of a mess. While checking the pump area, I noticed the pump support anode was loose, and when I looked closer, one of the bolts holding the impeller housing sheared right off. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out the best way to deal with this without causing more damage or ending up with water in places it shouldn't be. Has anyone had a similar problem with the pump bolts or the support anode?

Would love advice on whether I should try drilling and tapping to fix the bolt or if there's a better solution. Also, tips on sourcing replacement parts that fit this model would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
 
The pump support anode coming loose puts extra stress on the bolts. I wouldn't rush to drill and tap, that can mess up the housing. Try to use a left-hand drill bit and an EZ-Out set, use some penetrating oil, and make sure to take your time! For parts, try using an online parts finder from a BRP dealer. Just input your model and year, then look at the diagrams for the propulsion or pump assembly. That will give you the exact part numbers you need for the new anode and the bolt. Make sure to use marine-grade thread locker on the new bolt to keep it secure.
