Default 600SC mechanical fuel pump ability??

I rund the Merc 600SC fuel pumps on my gen6 engines, I had 600 hp last season zero fuel issues, how much HP will that pump feed safely? I am shooting for 675-700 it looks like, I do not want to run Electric if I can avoid it.

I have run the KE pump head for about 8 years also. If I use anything but Shell 93 the boat coughs under load. It has not done it since I switched to the Shell 93. I have between 550 and 575 hp.

You have dart blocks now with fuel pump provision?

I'd go with a pump like this #9373
