Jim sure put a bug in my ear with his idea of the electric fuel pump in fact
it's a new hobby looking around for the deal deal on the net now. I posed
the question to Holley and found out they make a "marine" grade electric
fuel pump in both the "red" and the "blue" models which most likely have a
slightly higher price tag but they are USCG approved. When looking at the
enlarged pictures of these marine pumps I see no difference.

I did find out some interesting facts on the "red" pump and since my motor
isn't a hot rod it should work, here's Holley's reply to my email:
Answer

This is our red fuel pump which is a part number 12-801 and it is rated at
97 gph, it has a max pressure of 7 psi but it typically flows at 4.5-5 psi
and the motor draws about 2 amps. There are several parts available for
rebuild on this pump, the check valve kit for this pump is under part number
12-805, the rotor and vane kit is under part number 12-811, then you can get
the lower housing assy if needed under part number 12-808 and then you have
the armature cap and brush assy under part number 12-855.

The marine unit is part number 712-801 for the "red" and 712-802 for the
"blue".

Now on with my quest...

You may beat www.summitracing.com by a few $ but not by much and not worth
the effort to find one. I would highly recommend the blue since it comes
with the fuel regulator. You don't want to run the red without one as you
can blow the seats out of the carbs.
