Ok, so I had someone go down and take a lookalike the boat for me because I have to work this week even though I'm on vacation this week 🤬
The guy turned the key on and the pump came on. WTH!!!
We can't run tge engines on tge rack and it was a mean low tide so there was no water in the marina. Hes going back tomorrow at high tide and will put it in the water to run it. Any suggest on things to check for a fuel pump that worked, then didn't, and now does?

I bought a pump. I got the regulator too. I can't come up with why it wouldn't cycle on Sunday and today it does.

where is the inline fuse for the fuel pump on 500 efi? Port motor just quit and when the key is cycled the pump does not come on.

Is there a relay to the fuel pump? I have had to replace the relay on my engine.
