Engine is a Mercruiser 4.3L V-6 (ser# 0M622077) in a 2003 SeaRay. Twin engines, one I can hear the fuel pump pressurize up & the other is silent.
The pump is getting power; I just had the dealer check it out & but we're looking at a very expensive job if they do it (>$1300). They are replacing both the pump & the cooler; is that necessary? Merc sells the pump separately I see. They are also quoting new gaskets for the exhaust elbow; again, it that necessary to be removed to get to the pump? I *think* I see it, buried on the port-side of the engine, down fairly low. Fortunately, it's the port engine & the hot-water heater is there so there some room to crawl back in there.
I did several search for a 'how-to' but didn't find it. I'm not going to cheap-out on parts but I hate spending $800 on labor if it's something I can do!
Thanks for your advice.
