I have a 2003 Nautique 196. A technician came out and said the Low Pressure Fuel Pump has bad pressure after running the boat at about 30 mph for about 2 minutes. The boat turns on and runs fine for a bit and then starves out after a bit and slows the boat down as it seems there is not enough fuel. I replaced the low pressure fuel pump along and am having the same issue. The relay and fuse seem to be fine as the pump hums and vibrates a bit when the boat turns on. I am not sure where to go from here. ------------- Thank you, Andrew |

Andrew, How did the "tech" determine the pump was a problem? Pressure gauge? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I would check the anti siphon valve next like advised in previous post and if not the problem then pickup in the tank after that. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Andrew, Do you know where he put the pressure gauge in the fuel system and what the reading was? You could do it yourself but I agree with Gary about checking at the tank first. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

15 Year’s out of a throw away pump is pretty good Pete. I’ll bet most have been changed by now. There is a screen under the top cover but for 55 dollars it’s not worth messing with it. PCM has to get 200+ for their replacement though. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Replaced low pressure fuel pump and the filter and still not working. High pressure pump is turning on. Boat still runs for 2 min at 34 and then bogs down ------------- Thank you, Andrew |

Checked anti-siphon and that was the issue! Clogged with bugs and gunk. Thanks so much! ------------- Thank you, Andrew |
