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.

Ebay has them for around $120. *Given all the work and extra parts you

Dumb? so is installing non-marine/Coast Guard *approved Edelbrock
carburators and aluminum intake manifolds.

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?- Hide quoted text -

Edlebrock makes a coast guard approved carburator. So does holley and
gm. Intake manifolds are not "approved" one way or another. Just
like blocks, pistons, connecting rods, and so on. This marine
"approved" business is limited to fuel and ignition parts. Electric
fuel pumps also have diaphrams you know. And there are marine
approved electric fuel pumps. Though I would not expect one to be any
cheaper than the correct replacement for your mechanical one. New
pumps will be built with materials that handle the ethanol additive.

There's liable and there's liable. What you have done is knowingly
installed non-marine fuel system parts on your boat. So if your boat
catches on fire your insurance company has an out to avoid paying.
Now you might not care a lot about that in terms of property damages.
But personal damages to someone that happens to be on your boat at the
time might be another issue. You have a boat so I'm guessing you have
other property and monetary resources that you'd prefer not to part
with.

Sigh.... Just another point-of-view issue blown out of proportion....

I thought I was obviously joking. Must have been too subtle.

The recent tenor in this newsgroup makes it impossible to sort out
what is tongue-in-cheek and what is seething anger....

No problem. And, you're right.
