Be careful buying an automotive pump for marine applications. If the diaphragm fails on an automotive pump the gas leaks out as little vent hole onto the ground. In a boat it leaks out into the bilge. BOOM! There are 5 things you want to make sure are rated for marine applications. The carburetor, alternator, fuel pump, starter, and starter solenoid. All are sealed to prevent gas leaking into the bilge or an open spark in the bilge. They are sealed which is why they are more expensive.

thinking less than half the price for samething.

It's not the same. You will see a little hole on the top of the automotive pump. That is where the explosion will start.

Its probably not the same thing and you'll probably have to cut the connector off and splice the wires. Inlet might not match either.

If you are dead set on it, go to Carter or Airtex site and browse the buyers guide.
I see much more risk and PITA than savings here.

i was hoping to get one before the weekend.

i read that its for marine use. of course that does not mean its prolly sealed.

Are you positive the fuel pump is out? I had the same issue, ordered a fuel pump but decided to check the relays before I installed the pump. Changing the relays fixed it right up and I had o ship the pump back, etc... Just a thought

[pSchwade]

just make sure you get a marine relay. I hear that its ok to use an automotive one to diagnose but they dont have the mounting bracket - so I wouldnt recommend it out on the water.

the pump comes on but there is no suction. pump will be here monday.
