Plus you have installed a non-coast guard approved pump. That makes you liable for anything that happens as a result. You'll have to fix it right before you can sell it. Just dumb. |

The way I look at it is I'm liable for anything on the boat anyhow. Thre's a new mechanical pump on ebay now for 58.00. I'm considering it, but gasahol eating diaphrams isn't very attractive to me. Besides, with the exception of having the pump itself, i had all the parts in stock anyhow. who says I'm going to sell it? |

I'm not saying that you're gonna blow up tomorrow, but I sure as hell wouldn't leave the key in the "on" position for long before starting. I'm confident that you can find a schematic online to wire it properly, and from reading your post, I'm sure you could do it. Both Mike and Gene make good points regarding safety. I've seen a few gasoline fires on boats and they are not a good thing. One of my old sailboats had a gasoline engine with an electric fuel pump, and also the gasoline generator on my old Bertram. Both had the fuel pump wired in series with the oil pressure sender so that the pump was guaranteed to be off if the engine was not running. Gentlemen, all points are taking well into consideration. I have a murphy switch and can install it accordingly. I will be installing it a well as an ignition relay that will kill the power to the pump in case of engine shut down. it's not hard to do. . I made this preliminary post so that I could see how it would operate, and it did function as desired. I'm also going to change out the key switch with "Bat", "Ign" and "start" , and do away with the button switch. believe it or not, I am more of a forward thinker than what some may think. ?;^) Well, I'm impressed with the whole project. Yes, there are some safety issues to be overcome, but you'll do that. -- John H Yes, in the primitive sense there are some safety issues, but they're really not hard to over come. In fact, the way it is set up now, would probably be fine with no incident happening, but the safety measures are worth the little bit of effort. Me, I would have put the boat in the marina and said, 'Charlie, fix it.' LOL! I know. That's why every day I go to work, and you go to the golf course. I'm with John. I would never tackle a job like that. If I had that sort of problem I, too, would "redistribute the wealth"! |

However, in your original post, you made no mention of your intentions of wiring it correctly. Like I said, I have no doubt that you have the skill to do it properly.

Well, the "Murphy" is more than just a drop in oil pressure switch, but also an over heat switch as well. the shut down can be set at the temper desired to kill the engine if it gets too hot, so it covers a lot more than one function. I have three or four from old worn out Waukesha oil field engines that got scrapped out. Not because the Murphy failed, but overhauling Waukesha's got out of hand price wise, and the oil field guys were having about as good of service out of a Ford 300 industrial six. (Yep, same as the pick up truck engine) at less than half the price. |
