Fuel pump??? 500HP

I bought one of the 110gph holleys from summit years ago & it's still goin strong...without a regulator.

if that was a std BB pump for engine mounting do no think it will work, the seawater pumps use a specific one so they can charge a insane $$$$ for it, again why I go to electrics, if was correct pump must have been POS like they trim sending units !!!

Nothing ticks me off more than getting bad parts

The bad news is you got a crap part and have to deal with its failure.

The good news is, you found the problem and it should be an easy fix with a good part!

I found the pivot pin in the bilge.
The sierra and merc pumps don't have that hole that goes all the way through.
They must have forgot to peen over the hole that holds the pin in place and it just slides in and out.

I actually had the Holley electric pump in my hand but decided against it since it wouldn't be coast guard approved.
If something should happen I would hate to be denied any insurance claim.
I would also have to cut or change the steel lines which I'm not fond of doing especially on a boat.
This system has worked for 20 years so once I get some good parts I'll be good for many years.
Thanks for the help
