Here's my situation, bought an 07 cobalt with 350 mag MPI. Mechanic didn't winterize correctly and the fuel module housing cracked. So he had it professionally welded which held up on the outside. However upon running the boat for the first time, there's water draining out of the bottom of the fuel module enough to where it starts pooling below the motor. My question is, is there a way to replace the housing without replacing the complete unit? I saw in 09 they switched to a gen 3 fuel module due to paint delamination clogging the previous modules. My motor was inluded in those FYI. So I'm guessing I need to get the newer fuel module which is different from the old which in turn tells me I have to do the whole unit. The previous owner is stepping up to the plate and paying for it but if I can save him a few bucks that'd be good bc he's a good person however I have to do it right the first time. Part numbers I'm showing are 8M0047215 and either the new two or three bib hose kit. Haven't looked to see what I need yet.
Second question is do you think it would be okay to run the boat until I get the part replaced? Boat runs fine with the leak but long term won't work obvious. I hate to miss Memorial Day in our new boat but don't want to cause unneeded damage.
Thanks in advance.
