Hi all,
I have a 1975 25ft Trojan inboard. 350hp crystler I believe. My mechanical fuel pump is no longer working. I was considering an electric fuel pump as a replacement. Any idea the fuel rate of this engine so I could find the proper fuel pump? Thanks all

Re: Fuel Pump Replacement
I am not aware of any Chrysler marine engine at 350 HP . Most F25s came with 225 hp . I would recommend you stay with a stock marine pump.
But if you go with with electric , make sure its a marine pump . Chrysler calls for 3.5-5 psi for most the marine engines any more and you could flood out the carb ( not safe ) If in fact you have 350 hp ( or close) your could burn 30-35 gph @ wot. So you would need a pump that will exceed that .
Again I would stay with stock . But regardless you need to find out exactly what engine you have .
