I put a Holley blue pump in my boat last year. I am going to have to change it out again before I'm up and running with my new motor I'm putting together. I'm considering upgrading a weldon pump for dependability reasons. Shortly after I installed the Holley blue pump (probably 20 hours) I ran the boat fairly hard on a long run one day and it overheated and seized up on me at a Marina. Fortunately, it didn't leave me stranded because after an hour (while all stoped for lunch) it had cooled down and started working again. I haven't had any more issues with it but it's on the list of parts to replace this winter because I don't feel it's dependable. The Holley is also a "pusher" style pump so to get it to work properly it has to be placed as close to the gas tank as possible. From what I understand, the weldon pumps are great pieces. They are made in several different types and sizes to fit different needs. They are a bit pricey (imo) but might be worth checking into. Best of luck to you. Mark

I run a 690 hp 509 in my baja and i used the big mallory electric pump with a new bigger pick up in the tank i had made,also bought a nice aeromotive regulator and it works great-no problems in two summers of hard running.
