Hi Douglas,
Picture's worth a thousand... Anyway, it sounds like "that's" your electric fuel pump. Is your motor fuel injected or carbed? WetWily |

It sure looks like it. This is from mercruiserparts.com it's on the diagram for the 5.0L engine, and it's listed as a "fuel pump assembly"

Hi Guys,
SAE 1171 is a NMMA Certification for the part and not the part number. I believe it referrers to "External Ignition Protection of Marine Electrical Devices" so all of our electrical parts should be SAE 1171 certified and they maybe labeled as so. Douglas, I remember reading that some of the Mercruiser motors use a "booster" pump, so if you don't have a mechanical pump, it's your primary, but if there is a mechanical pump, it's your "booster".
