Fuel in fuel pump oil?
So I assume this means my fuel pump is bad. I went to check the level today on my sea water mounted mechanical pump and fluid came screaming out. It was like it was over full probably because of all the gas in there.
This would explain the cutting out and stumbling with big throttle last weekend also.
I just want to be sure my findings are correct and that all I need is a new fuel pump and not a whole sea water pump too.

I would just change the oil for now, then check it again in about 20-25 hours.
Mine did the same thing this year when I pulled it to change the fluid. Typically I put about 60 hours a year on it, last year I did 110 so it went a lot longer than usual before I changed the fluid.

Mine was doing it. I finally drilled/tapped a drain hole in it so I could change the fluid without removing the pump. Changed it when I did engine oil changes.
