See the picture below; it belongs to a Mercruiser Big Block V-8 7.4 lt mechanical fuel pump that failed yesterday while underway; it parted in two pieces!! How on earth this could happen? believe it or not the diaphragm is still in good condition so I managed to sail the last couple of miles at idle to my temporary destination. What could have been the cause? This pump was replaced just 6 months ago so a new one is apparently coming as warranty.
