My service manual said in 1986 Mercruiser started putting high flow fuel pumps on Merc engines to prevent vapor locking. I have a 1985, 3.0L that I believe is vapor locking.
M# MCM 140, SN: 6922598
Does any have more info on this? Would replacing my fuel pump be a good investment or a waste of money?
The symptom; boat is cruising at full throttle running great, boat starts to slow down when still at full throttle, no sputtering like when water is in the gas, this normally freaks me out for about 2 seconds , I?ll back the throttle off slowly to an idle, shut the engine off, look around, all looks good, start engine and boat runs good. This happens about once or twice a day.
Thanks for your help,
