The problem with Obama jokes is that his worshippers don't think they are funny, and the rest of us don't think they are jokes
Checked it out 140 gph sounds good. Good price too. Should I use marine style pump? my engine is under cover too.
Ouch! Although I would have no problem using it, the Clay Smith is not approved for marine use in an enclosed engine hatch. And I am not going to tell you its ok.
This pump will handle the HP you're making with no trouble.

Cool. Ordered it. Thanks
I run a clay smith pump "Vented" under a hatch.......it's great!lol
If you run the Clay Smith, I suggest you run at least a dead head regulator. The 14 to 16 PSI is a lot and could blow past the needle & seat.
There is a tiny difference between a vented fuel pump and being Coast Guard Approved. I have vented six valve pumps and I have boost referenced them as well. But I would never tell somebody MY vented pump was Caost Guard Appproved, nor would I suggest to somebody that they can vent the pump. There is a reason I didn't tell the OP to just vent the Clay Smith pump.
You know, and I know it would be fine. Like I said in my post, I am fine with the pump in that situation. But if you don't know the boat, or the owner, I think it best to go with the CORRECT pump.
I don't think the OP will have any issues with the pump I linked him to.
By the way, why doesn't George list a "vented pump"?

Probably the cost of getting it approved. Would be a good idea. Haven't spoke to George in quite a while.
Its DIFINITLY about money. Not only approval BS but the added product liability as well. I don't fault George one bit for not going that route. Like I said, there isn't 2 cents difference between a vented pump and a C.G. A. pump except money and paper.
I am just BARELY smart enough to know that I can vent the standard pump and it will be fine. But I not going to tell someone else to do it for a 450 HP motor. And I seriously doubt George would tell them too either.

When you say vented what are you meaning??
LOL All I said is I run one and it's great. If we all followed the rules Bob we would all own turds!lol I personally would run one if I only had 100hp lol That's how I roll
You MUST run a reg with a Clay Smith pump. They are the best pump for the money on the market period! Do YOU need it???? Idunno? But if you buy one you won't EVER need anything else.
Like I said, if you or I chose to run one thats fine. I stated I had no problems with it. But I won't tell someone that has an enclosed engine that its OK. Its irresposible.
Have George get ahold of the guy and tell him the pump is fine.
