Ok, I know I've post this before, but I gotta have another wack at it as a point of clarification. The electric pump on my 16 vortec quit a few weeks ago. My first impulse was to buy a new one--direct replacement-- from Mercury (very expensive). Instead, I opted for the Holley Red Marine pump( I believe I posted earlier that I had the Holley Blue pump). It cost me a little over $100 on amazon. com. I made a mounting bracket for the front of the motor, wired it and hit the key. The pump works like a charm. My question is, are the Merc pumps rebuildable? The one that came out of the boat is stamped Carter on top. I know these pumps are sealed for safety and certification purposes, but I hate to toss it. Would make a good backup. Thanks

Go to an auto parts store and see if they have a rebuild kit for a carter....
