43-45 psi key on engine not running. Should be stable at idle again between 43-45 psi with vacume line disconnected and plugged. At WOT, it should not drop below 41-43 psi.

You most likely either have one of three scenarios:
1. a problem with a fuel pump-most likely clogged inlet screen.
2. a fuel water seperator filter that is clogging or contaminated.
3. a fuel pressure regulator that is going bad.
Check these items and you will probably find one is the culprit.
good Luck,

Its my friends boat and he let it sit for a few months. And when he went to run it all the filters were cloggd with black particles. All the fuel lines were decying. Ethenol I guess
So the elec. fuel pump has a inlet screen.
Ill bet its pluged to. Whre is the screen?
