I'm working on an electrical issue with my boat. With the fuel pump relay jumpered and the fuel pump unplugged I'm getting 12v at the connector, no issues. With the connector plugged in, I get a short, smoke plumes out of the fuel pump and I blow a fuse. Has anyone ever seen a shorted fuel pump?

Welcome aboard.

Whether anyone has seen one or not, is sure sounds like you have a shorted pump.

Measure across the pump on Ohms scale.
