Ah-ha! Had the boat on the water both days this past weekend. Had a great time skiing and pulling the rest of my family around Lake Zoar in CT. Boat ran like a dream, zero issues. I also got to ski on some serious glass on Saturday night after all the rain went through. It cleared up very nicely. I will post a pic of what it looked like right after I got back in the boat over in the glass water thread.

Saw a very nice '93 Limited in the Silverflake out on the lake. I was pretty shocked to see it go by. If it was someone on here, nice MC!

The ironic part of the weekend was on the way back to my parents house in CT at the end of the day Sunday. The boat had run very well all weekend and about 3 miles from their house, the fuel pump in the truck died. If its not one thing, its another! Anyway, its at the shop getting a new one as I am out of town this week again and need the rig in tip top shape to feed the need for having the boat on the water next weekend.

I figured I would share as it is pretty ironic.

I see it's half the price of the marine version, but that is an automotive part, "Not for marine or aviation use". What do you guys make of that? Carter's old numbers were GP60962 for the automotive and P60962 for the marine.

I know the old school mechanical pumps had the fitting on the weep hole to put the fuel into the carb instead of the bilge if it failed, an obvious safety issue.

Does anyone know what safety upgrades they do to these to charge double the price?
