No need to apologize. I believe the punishment for that particular offence is that everyone on the thread gets to hang out on your boat for a full day- without wiping it down after!

Damn, that's a tough punishment. You know you can hang out at the sandbar for 12 hours and the weathers great, but damn, when you get the boat back at the marina to wipe it down, why does the temp have to go up 50 degrees !!!!! Oh yeah, and where did all my friends run off to??

I did not know Eddie had USCG pumps. Thanks for the info. I also have never owned any thing other than 1 jet & 3 v-drives so I am not the most knowledgable on the mec set up. I do know that on most mecs you can't use the standard fuel pump mount as there is a bunh "O" stuff in the way. Think it's the water pump but not real sure.
Oh, my boat is down right now so after the full day of hanging out on your boat I will still help wipe it down.

We set the "Fuel Pump" on fire!!!
Perhaps we need a Coast Guard approved thread...

have you friend look closely at his bill he more than likely had to have the seawater pump replace along with the pump , when the pump goes out it takes the water pump with it 90% of the time the fuel pump was probobly around $70 and the seawaterpump at 350 plus 5-6 hours labor, changeing to a electric pump would have been more

No need to start wiping, yet. More fuel for the "Coast Guard Approved" fire:
I believe Coast Guard regulations mandate a "hard" fuel line between the carb and the pump. This would require mounting the electric pump on the block, probably on or near the exhaust manifold, and bending a hard line.
Most guys with the electric pumps mount them off the engine (cooler- no vibrations) and run hose. I'm not sure if the Coast Guard counts even steel braided w/aircraft fittings to be "hard" line.
Anybody have a Coast Guard regulations manual? Weren't we all given one when we bought our boats? http://free.***boat.net/ubb/confused.gif
