Basics: 1978 Grady White Pacer 174 w/ Mercruiser 470. My bilge pump died and I replaced it with a new Shoreline Marine 800 GPH. I connected the wires from the pump to the same connections as the old one, and it worked as advertised. However, after installing and connecting it, my fuel gage now pegs on the low side. The old pump received its ground from the same wire as the fuel sender, so the first thing I did was to wire the sender's ground to a dedicated ground (battery). Still pegs low with the key on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
