Yes they are blues and I do have heavy guage wire to both the pumps. The tech guy at holley asked me about that and mentioned the possibilty of them gett hot or failing because of it. Also im running 1/2" lines all the way to the regulator, should be ok.
Chris, I wish I could run a mechanical, thats definately the way to go but not an option. Im thinking of leaving the pumps were there at, I feel more comfortable that if something happend with the gasket between the base and motor it wouldnt flood the boat with fuel. Not sure yet about the filter location but i'll figure it out. Thanks for all the responses guys.
