"I recently purchased a boat that has a marine power 454. I would estimate the year of the motor somewhere around 1996. it's a carburated engine. the boat has sat for several years. when i went to start it, i had trbl with no pwr to the fuel pump. I temporarily jumped out the fuel pump to another ckt, and the motor fired right up. However the oil pressure gauge didn't seem to work. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the fuel pump is powered by the oil pressure switch. do you think these problems could be related? any help would be appreciated thanks."
