Re: [omc-boats] Fuel Pump - 1969 155hp

Regarding this, I would not suggest hooking it up to run through the old
pump - as in my last email I mention that leaks develop in the old hoses
and pumps - so I suggest you skip them and install the electric high on
the transom where you can easily check it from time to time. Dave
