I have a 1987 Bayliner Trophy. It had an omc 5.0 in it but I am swapping it out for a 350 chevy. The motor I got is a truck crate engine. After I bought the motor I realized that where the mechanical fuel pump goes it had a block off plate mounted to it. I just figured Id take the plate off and reeuse the mechanical fuel pump. Well the other day I took the block off plate off and the block does not accept a mechanical pump. Its just a solid casting! So now I need advice as to which electric marine grade fuel pump I should go with as this is my only option. I was looking at the holley red electric marine fuel pump but on the installation instructions it says that the pump has to be mounted below the tank. This is a problem because I cant mount it below the tank. ANy help sure would be appreciated guys. Thanks!

thanks alot! I guess I will go with the holey red pump as long as im good for the mounting location not being below the tank. And yes this is a carbed motor.
