    fuel pump frustration

    Good eye Eric, I didn't have enough A1 to do all of the hose so I used what I had for the pump to carb section and just regular from filter to pump. I have some a1 coming to replace that..

    fuel pump frustration

    Never posted a pic here in all the years I was active because I was on dial up until a few years ago so its new to me..Those pics looked huge on my computer.. The pump I used was a carter universal marine pump. P4594. it's 12 volt 6-8 psi, 72 gals an hour.

    fuel pump frustration

    I gave up on the mechanical pump, shoot it was hard enough installing the block off plate! I installed the carter pump where the water separator was and moved the separator to the bulk head just above the fuel tank outlet. got it all plumbed in and hot wired the pump to check my work.. all...

    fuel pump frustration

    I thought I might take one more crack at the mech pump and wanted to see what you guys thought. I can only work with one hand and I can't see the pump area. I thought about using studs but the pump arm won't go thru the mount plate. but if I install the plate with the pump as one unit it would...

    fuel pump frustration

    It seems the carter electric is widely used so I suppose that will be the one, while I appreciate that a mech pump is superior dependability I also want ease of installation and accessibility. I also will move the separator to a better area as well, I figure if I carry a spare pump I could...

    fuel pump frustration

    I have decided to do the conversion to electric and would like recommendations on which pump to get. I can see no way to mount it below the fuel tank so I would need one with some sucking capability as I plan to mount it just above the tank on the back of the bench seat. which would put it...

    fuel pump frustration

    Well back to the fuel pump adventure, I wonder if anyone has ever tried to magnetize the push rod so it would stay up in the bore? That's probably a crazy thought, it would be my luck that it would push it out rather than hold it in...

    fuel pump frustration

    The boat seems solid, I don't really know how to check for rot in transom other than a bit of tapping or a moisture meter. tapping I have done. stored in a barn for several years so the hull was bone dry, I got water out of the gas tank when I pumped it..

    fuel pump frustration

    I truly hope I don't need to swap out the fuel tank! The boat was given to me and hasn't been run in several years. I did get a significant amount of water out of it so the fuel tank may very well be corroded. I took the old fuel pump apart and it was rusty in places so I suspect water probably...

    Outdrive does not want to re -install in boat

    I had one like that once and had my wife bump the starter while I pushed on the drive and it slid right up. Be sure to remove prop and pull the coil wire..

    fuel pump frustration

    There's some good teaching from some good folks here in several mech to electric conversion threads and I've about decided to go that route. Who ever designed this model of sea ray did not have engine maintenance in mind. Thought about putting studs in place of the pump mounting bolts so I...

    fuel pump frustration

    I'm almost certain, I found 2 holes one above the other in the casting. The top one seemed inline with the push rod so slipped a pencil into it and it is about 3/4 inch deep but didn't seem to touch the push rod...

    fuel pump frustration

    I'm pretty close to converting it to electric pump. gonna take today off and rest. it's tough getting old.. I think the biggest problem is the limited access, I can't seem to get both hands down in there at the same time and all the while my poor old body is jambed into a space about 2' by 2'..

    hi folks, It's been a long long time since I have been here. After 10 years I just got another boat. Guess the urge never leaves ya.. Anyway to the point, I have a 95 searay 220, 350 gm engine with a sun deck over the engine, so very tight spaces to work on it.. I got the old pump off, but...

    Deadman throttle hook up

    Hey guys, been a long time but I'm back...I recently picked up a 15hp omc 2 stroke for a small hydro I built, about mid 80s model, and I am trying to hook up an old quincy deadman throttle to it but the advance plate has too much resistance for the cable...If I take the flywheel off then the...
