      Many components work together to make your Mercury engine run smoothly. Marine fuel pumps are necessary for engine operation. Engines require gas to run, and fuel pumps supply that gas under pressure to ensure both smooth running and efficient engine operation. The fuel pump’s job is to carry the fuel from the gas tank directly to the individual cylinders. This operation must be performed under high pressure to ensure good combustion. Should your marine technician advise that you’ll need a new Mercury fuel pump, give Wholesale Marine a call and ask for advice in selecting  Mercury Fuel Pump components or to buy a Mercury fuel pump kit with all the parts you’ll need from OEM manufacturers as well as the top aftermarket vendors like Sierra.

      While Wholesale Marine does not expect that most boat owners would repair their boat engines themselves, it helps to know what to look for to troubleshoot possible fuel pump problems. This way you can avoid costly repairs. Here are some tips to follow: When a boat engine is not performing well, or will not start, most marine technicians will perform a compression test. If the engine is found to have good compression, then the spark plugs are checked next. No spark, possibly a tune-up is in order. If that’s the case, know that Wholesale Marine has tune-up kits from Sierra, Mercury, Mercruiser, and CDI that make short work of that task.

      Boat Fuel Pumps Rarely Cause Engine Failure

      If the spark plugs are not the culprit, it’s time to inspect the fuel system. Your technician will start at the fuel tank and work toward the engine, checking the screen, anti-siphon valve, and the separating filter. If all looks well, the carburetor filters may be due for a cleaning. The good news about marine fuel pumps is that when there are engine problems, they are rarely the culprit. So rebuilding or replacing boat fuel pumps is usually a last resort.
