Not an expert by no means on this but the tech library on Teagues site recommends the electric pump go to a manifold after the mechanical pump. http://teaguecustommarine.com//media...l_manifold.pdf

With those mechanical pumps you have Rob, I wouldn't even mess with those electric pump setups in the system. The mechanicals should support the power you have easily, as long as the lines going to them, are sized and plumbed right.

Rob,
If the mechanical pump is a gear or vane pump, sometimes they will not prime after setting a while. A single electric boost pump will prime mechanical if it goes dry. It should not be plumbed in series with mechanical but "T" in with a check valve. Your Cigarette has enough tank fittings to accomplish this task. Your fuel filters can be used as pre filter for prime if you have 4 ports on them...
