Are you guys adjusting it to 43 psi at idle or wide open? also how would i go about checking for clogs on land?

Per Merc Manual pump pressure should be 34-38 PSI.

Chart A-4 (2 of 5): Fuel System Diagnosis
TEST DESCRIPTION:
2. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connector to absorb any small amount of
fuel leakage that may occur when installing the gauge. Ignition “ON,” pump pressure
should be 34-38 psi (234-262 kPa). This pressure is controlled by spring pressure within
the regulator assembly.
NOTE: Fuel pump pressure will read lower if battery is not fully charged.
