So I have a serious issue with the cool Fuel module leaking sea water at the inlet to the body. Its about to let go and I need to replace the module.
A full replacement is $1300 per engine but the body replacement only is $500 per engine only.
I have been talking to mercury folks and there is an additional issue I need to investigate. Apparently Mercury painted the inside of these and there is a known issue with paint bubbling and going up into the fuel injection system and causing real harm. They are explaining that I should back away some bolt on the regulator side that overlaps a silver disc; wiggle it out to see if there is bubbling paint or not.. that would determine if these units were previously replaced and determine my path forward (ive only owned this boat 2 years).
Can anyone walk me through this with a little more discription or even a picture? I am not really sure what I am doing (or going to do).
Thanks!
