i recently replaced the fuel pump on my 1987 Mercruiser 260hp V8. It had a carter electric fuel pump on it before and has one on their now. it works great, but i might have bought the wrong model. it looks identical to the old one. is this fuel pump ok for my motor?

one i bought: Carter P4070 Electric Fuel Pump [Link]
one recommended: Carter P4389 Electric Fuel Pump [Link]

Can find next to nothing about specifications on Carter fuel pumps, other then flow and pressure. In one listing I did find the 4389 list marine the 4070 did not. They are probably the same pump, but personally I don't see me installing something that could not be verified for a marine application.
