You have bypassed all of that by installing an electric pump that's wired to

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.

Me, I would have put the boat in the marina and said, 'Charlie, fix
it.'

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"!

I've rarely paid others to do this sort of job and received the
quality that I expect. I, and others, prefer to do this sort of job so
that I know that it is done right.

To you, getting the job done right is obviously more important than
redistributing wealth. Now we know where your priorities lie.

Sure wish some other folks felt the same way.
