After lainching a dead boat saturday then dragging it back home I dpent my weekend chasing the no fuel problem. Had power everywhere but the pump wouldnt run. Pulled the pump hot wired it and it spins fine. turns out the little metel vonnector in the plug had fallen apart tjerefore not making connection with the pin on the pump.I cant find a source for the plug. mercruiser 4.3 1997 anyone have any tips?

It can't be purchased separately, it's part of the harness. Without replacing the harness, about all you can do is solder a couple of wires to the pump pins and make up your own connector. The only other option would be to take the pump into some of the car parts shops and see if they have a connector... Or a boat shop and see if they have a harness from an old engine they would be willing to cut the connector off.

Thank you achris. That was my plan for tonight. A lcal boat mechanic thought the only way would be a new harness . I Went out and bought dome solder and barrel connectors. Thought I would try asking on here first

Just make sure you get those solder connections water tight. Use heat-shrink or liquid neoprene when you're done.

Somewhere I've seen that Merc is just starting to offer some EFI wire harness plug connectors as I've seen some part numbers posted a few times here and there recently by members in need. The dealers may have a book of them nowadays or something of the like. The link below is the only one that I know of for connector plugs but I don't believe the plug you need is in there.

An auto parts store like NAPA auto parts using books might be able to find you something to work or a GM dealer should be able to find you something too.

If you search fuel injector engine wiring harness connectors you might be able to find something as well. Examples, http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/121117090579?lpid=82

Good luck.
