    Cannot get outdrive installed to the last 1/2 inch - need your advice!

    RE: LOW FUEL PRESSURE?

Looks like your fuel pressure should be at...

    Tilt / Trim 50A CB - 2001 GXi-A ... where to look?

    While there's circuit breakers mounted on the engine of the 50-amp range for engine items, in looking at some parts catalogs it appears you may have blade type fuses vs a breaker button at the pump area itself...Also could use your transom model number to locate your design pump as it should be...

    Oil pressure switch / oil pressure sender

    You have a mechanical fuel pump... It's the one with the yellowish hose running to it / to the left of the white oil filter. How about an overall view of the engine.
