So i bought a boat from a friend that has well had quite a few problems. He left the boat fill up with rain water and it got in the fuel system. I took the VST off and replaced the fuel pump, orings, and a fuse. Got it to finally prime and it started leaving
leaking fuel out the top of vst/fuel pump. Took it back apart to see which oring was leaking and i broke one of the plastic connectors that hold the electrical post through the top. Don't want to buy a $740 fuel pump to get two plastic pieces. Where can i find these or a used vst? Anyone got any ideas ?

If you are talking about the posts that come out of the actual pump I think you will have to get a new pump. I replaced mine before this season with an aftermarket one. They are only $69. HFP is the maker.

Its not the post that come out of the fuel pump. Its the plastic pieces that seal the post from the top. I believe 8 and 10 are the correct parts but 8 shows a fuel pump at $700 dollars and 10 I assume are the pieces I need for $80 dollars....WTF Plastic is getting expensive!!!!

8 and 10 are part of the pump. It doesnt come apart. It is just like any late model auto in-tsnk pump.
