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 run the KE pump heads rated for 120ghp on my mech pumps with 0 issues close to 800hp

i believe a merc 600 sc pump is a carter 130 gph. im not impressed with them, i would look for a holley pump with more gph. the merc 800 sc ran holley 180 gph

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

Hmmm I was hoping to just use the sea pump ones because I already have them, joe that link I just see oil pans and such? Think I should go
Back to other style pumps huh?

You need to click "parts" at top right of screen, then click "mechanical fuel pumps"
