      Hello all, Just purchased my first Mercury, I have always been an OMC guy so I have a question regarding this Merc. It’s a 1968 9.8hp serial# 2510518. I have a cracked cover on the fuel pump and the replacement pump part number is 89977A1 according to marineengine.com. My concern is it looks nothing like the pump I have now and the pictures aren’t really detailed to see if it will work. Looking for some insite or advice.Thanks Dave

          Is this the link you were looking at? http://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercu … p-assembly

          The pump that you list is an aftermarket pump that you can use to replace the original pump, but it is far from original. I actually have one on a 58 Fleetwin….. (I am contemplating putting it back to pressure tank), but it works on the fleetwin. Did you look on e-bay or place a WTB add on our site.

            quote Dave Bernard:

            I agree. These don’t tank much pressure, they break due to someone not assembling it correctly or attempting to get the carburetor off and putting too much force on it.
