My 2002 240 fourwinns hesitates and backfires when i open it all the way up. It's not until the last 5% of thre throttle is pushed foward that this happens. I have installed new plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor button and fuel filter. With the tune up it runs slightly better but has the exact same result at the very top end. I have a throttle body on a 5.7 litre engine. I suspect my fuel pump is going bad or possibly a bent cam.

Bent cam ????????

I would suspect a fuel delivery problem to your engine before a bad pump. Try these tests first http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=283269

You should also get your fuel pump pressure at WOT too.

have you checked and replaced the fuel filter lately?
