    Pump woes. Fuel, Water........

    Just get ready. I'm already past the impeller stage. Now the bearings and seals are out on the pump itself. My dealer response is the same that is used for every other issue, "Thats normal for this type of boat".

    Give me your list and I can probably tell you how I fixed mine and what to expect next. I have become quite the boat mechanic since the Tige purchase.

      Fuel Pump won't quit running

      My boyfriend and I own a 2003 20i Tige Boat with a 350 Mag Mercruiser engine and don't get me started on all the problems we've had this season with it!! The most recent and unsolvable (by us) one started yesterday when we were at the lake. I noticed a humming noise...figured we had left the blower on but when I looked at the switch it was off. So it wasn't the blower...after spending 45 mins. in the water troubleshooting we figured out that it was 100% the fuel pump. So, we did the logical thing and took the key out of the ignition....fuel pump still running strong. Aaron, my boyfriend, then proceeded to unplug the fuel pump and it stopped running. Plug it back in, still running. I've read the previous posts and am pretty sure what must be wrong is the fuel pump relay has gone bad or gotten stuck. However, I'm confused on how to go about making sure this is the problem and IF it is how to fix it so that it doesn't happen ever again. Right now, everytime we turn the engine off we have to unplug the fuel pump (embarassing and stupid).

      Where exactly are the relays located?
      How do you tell is the relay is bad?
      Is it possible the relay just needs to be unplugged and plugged back in?
      What caused this???
      How much do fuel pump relays cost to replace and where can you get them?
      How long will it take for us to replace the relay (if we have to) by ourselves?

      ANY and ALL help would be much appreciated. I'm sure you all know how frustrating it is to have boat problems...

      Thanks,

      Lindsey

        Imulinix (Lindsey) , give Kevin at Tige Performance Boats in Mesa a call or swing by and talk to him. They are extemely knowledgeable and helpful. They may be able to walk you thru the steps to check the relay. Good luck.

          I'm hoping not to have to do that but if I have to I will...they act like the wait for service is 4-6 weeks at the min. and I'm not willing to waste the entire summer....but I guess I could just ask them where the fuel pump relay is and how to change it. Good Idea. Thanks but if Tige MD has any specific information that would be amazing.
