recently purchased 89 cobia with the 2.3 liter ford engine,the boat has electric fuel pump,my question is should i remove the mech pump and block off or just leave in on,thanks
thank you mr bond-o the electric pump on the boat is a facet posi-flo efp-3 and i was told that it is not marine rated but on there website is says for marine use from the best i can read maybe im wrong can you tell sir about this pump thanks much appreciated
When I looked I could find no US Coast Guard approval for that paticular pump...if you found one for that model I stand corrected.
None the less, it is wired in and unsafe manner and needs to go through an oil pressure swith per our prior discussion.
If you keep an electric pump I advise removing the dead mechanical unit and fabricating a block off plate.
