" Yesterday my 7.4L starting m
" Yesterday my 7.4L starting making a metal on metal racket that seemed to eminate from the fuel pump area. Unfortunately, I was in a narrow channel with no place to pull off so I was forced to run the engine that way for some distance. The engine seemed to hold RPM, boat speed was unaffected, the coolant temperature and the oil pressure were all normal. But once I was able to pull out of the channel and brought the boat to idle, the engine ran rough and died. Would restart, but still had the noise and very rough idle. Is this typical of impending fuel pump failure or is it something else? Thanks in advance for the help. "
