    Question regarding wiring up a carter electric fuel pump

    Yeah it's really not that big of a deal, But before I proceeded I just wanted to run it by the iboats experts. I just didn't see how it doesn't back feed to the starter, but somebody also gave me a tip to put a diode on that line.

    I meant to buy gloss white, but apparently I didn't select the right color. I went to do an Amazon return and they just gave me a refund didn't even ask me to send it back.
