You'd better get that fixed pretty quick. It wouldn't pass a CG
inspection as it is. Your insurance won't pay for the ensuing fire
damage either(I've denied claims for fires from faulty owner repairs or
mods - many boat policies specifically exclude coverage).

pump).

How did you power the electric fuel pump? In the event that you didn't ....
consider providing it's power in a manner that the power is removed if the
engine is not running, even though the ignition may be "on". Often, this is
accomplished by powering it through an oil pressure switch.
