Last weekend the mechanical fuel pump on my '81 Mercruser I/L 6 250ci 165hp (S/N 5836000)gave up. Yesterday I bought an electric fuel pump, and filter. I called my local boat dealer to get a price on an oil pressure cut-off switch. He had no idea what I was talking about, and suggested that I replace the mechanical pump with another mechanical pump ($136.15). Does anyone have a part number, or a place to look for one of these switches?<br /><br />The electric fuel pump (Purolator Pro12sv) says that it was designed for automobiles, generators, agricultural, and marine equipment. However, I can't find a USCG approval anywhere. If it where truely designed for marine applications, wouldn't it have one?<br /><br />Thanks
