Which marine brands and part numbers is this compatible with?

This pump is commonly used across several marine engine manufacturers that adapt Ford small-blocks; it replaces numerous OEM part references. Use the supplied replacement numbers to confirm compatibility with your sterndrive or inboard system.

• Commonly installed on Crusader and Pleasurecraft (PCM) conversions
• Compatible with many Mercruiser and OMC setups

How should I check inlet and outlet orientation before installation?

Port location can vary by application and affects hose routing and clearance. Inspect your current pump and take note of which side the inlet and outlet face so the new pump's ports align with existing fuel lines and clamps.

• Compare port positions visually before removing the old pump
• Ensure fuel hose lengths and clamps will reach new port locations
• Turn the engine to Top Dead Center if required by your service manual
• Keep the included gasket and clean mating surfaces for a leak-free seal

What installation tips improve longevity and safety?

Proper sealing, correct hose routing, and using rated marine fuel lines are key to reliable operation. Replace any brittle hoses or worn clamps during installation and torque mounting bolts to the engine manufacturer's specification to prevent leaks and premature wear.

• Use the included gasket and torque bolts evenly to spec
• Replace fuel hose and clamps if aged or cracked
• Check for fuel leaks at idle and under light throttle after install
• Follow marine safety practices when working with fuel systems
