Boat electric pumps also work for a short time when the ignition is
turned on. Just like a car.


I wanted to be sure about this ... I think you are incorrect ....

Electronic fuel injection pumps usually run for a couple seconds when the
ignition is first turned on to build up pressure. At least they do on
cars, I'm assuming they do the same on boats.


Not supposed to by Federal regulation.

They should be wired such that they run *only* when the starter is engaged
or a oil pressure switch is satisfied.
They should *not* run .... even for a short period of time .... with the
ignition "on" but the engine not running.
