While on my last fishing trip the old mercury was giving me problems and would not run for more than a few minutes and would not get on plane at all. Would only idle.
Brought to local mechanic at the lake I was fishing since it was away from home and he diagnosed it as the high pressure fuel pump.
The part number for it was 855843-2 was the part number on the original fuel pump, but the merc OEM replacement pump is 12-8M0047624 : PUMP ASSY-FUEL. Picture of part is below.
I am going to be changing this part out myself and wanted to get everyone's opinion on the complexity of the project. I got the part in the mail yesterday and it looks fairly simple. Anything I should watch out for during the job?
