I have both of my exhaust manifolds removed and staring at my likely original fuel pump. I don't have any symptoms that it's failing but it's 22 years old.

I was thinking about replacing them on both engines instead of waiting until they fail. Same with the thermostat and coils while I have everything apart.

Do you think I should or leave well enough alone. Access is pretty easy with the manifolds off.

Thanks for the other replies about the exhaust hose. I think I'll just replace them as well.

"Bob,

When you brought up looking for a rebuild kit a few weeks ago, I was in the same situation when we took the engine out. Thos pumps are 17 years old as I know it and I really don't but I do have 2 new ones on the boat. I did not change the pumps even though it would have been 20 times easier to do so. Like you , no symptoms...My 2 cents.

Sometimes when looking into that tight space, you easily visualize the difference it makes and it seem hard, not to do it"

Al is right on. But don't toss the old ones out--keep at least one as a spare.
