Help...boat wont stay running.

   Hey All,   5 days of vacation and boat won't stay running.  I have a 96 sport with an EFI Ford motor.  It will start but dies after about 2 seconds.  When I turn the key 1 "click" or to the "run" position I should hear the fuel pump put some fuel into the fuel control cell.  I don't hear anything at all. I tried to start it about a dozen times and it does the same thing every time.  I think the fuel pump is bad, am I on the right path? 
Thanks.

	This happened to me at the boat launch a few weeks ago. About 20 mins into diagnosing the problem I realized the kill switch by the driver seat had been pulled. If that is all good check the voltage at the fuel pump with a meter.

	Also check out the FI relay. I have heard this is a common failure. It is near the rear of the engine as I recall.

	As always you guys ROCK!! It was the kill switch. It wasnt off the post but dislodged enough to cause the problem. Crisis resolved now I can sleep. Thanks again.

	Get yourself a fuel pump relay as Chris mentioned. They are nice spare to have could save paddling and a ruined ski trip. GT40 Relay
