Looks like Nautiqueparts is selling the heatsink as well. You don't need the entire assembly, just the black TFI. Your old heatsink should be perfectly fine.

Brian,
i suspect that just cleaning the screen/pump would have fixed the problem too. |

As far as I can tell, I'm not quite sure...

I had this same issue with my 97 GT-40 Sport. There is a tube going down into the tank and at the top of it was a little mesh filter. The crud got up the tube and clogged it. I blew out the wad of crud and runs perfect now. Of course this means I need to take the tank out and clean it. I also cleaned the anti-siphon valve |

I test drove a 1998 Air Nautique with a GT-40 which had been sitting for a while, only run a couple time in two years. When I was accelerating hard, it would intermittently (once every 3rd time or so) slow down for a split second and the engine light would come on, then it would continue to accelerate and the engine light would go out. It seemed like momentary hesitation, light comes on, then everything was fine. I passed on the boat because of this, but I just wanted to see if I am being over cautious on a simple fix. The boat ran great other than this and the compression was good

That is the "SLOW" limp mode on the GT40 engine. The GT40 uses extra switches (not senders) to sense low oil pressure and high engine temp. The computer then limits rpms.
Easy to trouble shoot just remove wiring from both switches.

Keith, How did you determine it was the TFI? My 97 GT40 has the same symptoms.

Great idea, thank you for initiating. My 1997 has been great with the exception of an relay replacement about 5 yrs ago until I started having the issues I posted on the fuel supply. |

A hard hot start (running then sitting for an hour or long enough for heat soak) issue turns into a never start condition. This is solved with a new low pressure fuel pump, here:

Resetting a breaker in the PME Breaker Box, fixes a condition where the engine will start and run until the operator lets go of the starter button. Here:
