575sci Fuel Pump ? - Upgrading to KE Fuel Pump
I am going to install these upgrade pumps on my sea water pump and need to know if the fittings work with the stock 575sci female fittings or will I have to re-do the line going to the throttle bodies. The KE unit has -8 inlet and -8 outlet fittings that supposedly are not changable.

Been a while, but I used KE pumps on my 575's. I did replace the fitting on the KE pumps to what Merc uses. didn't change anything to throttle bodies or filters.
BTW: Other than looking nice, wasn't much of an upgrade over Merc.

I agree with looking nice however, I am being told that these will eliminate the seal leakage issue. Don't want to loose a seawater pump due to it being fuel soaked.
