After I bought the boat, I ran it & it ran great, so I just removed the electric pumps. It was set up that the mechanical pumps had to pull fuel through the electric pumps. It also had boost gauges in the dash so i knew it had bigger motors in it at one time. The dash was wired & had what appeared to be factory switches for the pumps.
i was told that pulling threw a elec pump was not a good idea. but it worked for you. i have fuel pressure gauges on the dash i guess i can plumb it to pull threw the elec. SHut them off once i am on plane and see what the pressure does when i ease into the throttles. i will wait till after the engines are broke in to try.
