replacing the bilge pump

Ok, found my float switch was bad so, I replaced it and purched a new 1100 gph pump.  The blue base of the pump is a little different but for some reason when I left the float switch the pump runs but just won't pump the water out.  So, I took the pump from the blue bracket and just sat the pump in the water holding it, lifted the float switch up and the pump, pumps the water out like a pro.  No, there's nothing blocking the slots on the blue bracket.  What am I missing.  Last, can the float switch be adjusted so it won't have to be raised as much so it can come on when the water is perhaps 1" high not almost 2" inches.
