While running down the lake last Saturday my boat stuttered and quit. It restarted once but then died and would not restart. After getting it home I pulled the fuel water separator, it had a little crud in it so I replaced it. After turning the key on I could hear the fuel pump buzz but it would not refill the filter. I did a little reading and decided to try to run it off a gas can to eliminate a clogged pickup as a problem. It still would not fill the filter. So here are my questions.
What determins the time the pump runs? I always thought it met pressure then shut off, but apparently not.
Does this sound like a fuel pump failure?
Is the $400 kit from Mercury the only viable option?
Is the kit better than the original design?
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any input, I look forward to being part of the community.
