Tomorrow there is a Take a Warrior Fishing event on Caesars.


While normally i’d rather take a sharp stick to the eye than fish Caesars on a weekend (🤣), this event is really worth participating...

Appears it was the pump connector. Seems I stretched out the socket side during testing.

Also replaced cranking batteries as they were pretty old (5-6 years old) and I hammered them pretty hard...

Update time...

Replaced the electric fuel pump. Fired up and ran like a champ.

Fished this morning for a few hours. Went to head for the ramp and it did the same thing it did the first...

Ok, cool...so it sounds like i can eliminate any other electrical issues aside from the pump itself being bad or jammed with debris.

The fuses had power on both sides. The testing of the pump...

Checked fuses near the computer. Two had battery voltage (13.34-ish) and two had minimal...something like 0.3v...with the key on.

I checked all the breakers under the driver console.

Could you point me toward a possible location of other fuses?

Thanks!

Awesome. Many, many thanks!

I'll be sending an email for more service info.

Fished our club tourney last night on the trolling motor and did some on-the-water troubleshooting (and still managed a win somehow!).

There's definitely no noise coming from the electric fuel...

Thank you!

I hate to admit it, but i don't recall EVER hearing the electric fuel pump run. (I bought the boat new in 2006. :doh:)

I'll report back when i get the fuel pressure tested.

Thanks for the reply.

Do i put the gauge on the shrader valve on the front of the VST?

Hello...

I have a 2005 Mercury 200 3L EFI (SN 1B042022).

Saturday I started it, put it in gear, and it idled about 10 seconds before it sputtered and died, like it ran out of gas. It would not...
