I have two non-functioning fuel pumps on a 2006 Mercury OptiMax 150-HP engine. I see them selling for $700 each.

Search on Amazon for "Waltboro”.
They (sell) fuel pumps without Mercury markup.

I followed your search recommendation but nothing appeared in the search results that was "Waltboro."Mambo Minnow wrote:Search on Amazon for "Waltboro”.
However, on Amazon a well-known manufacturer of fuel pumps is WALBRO and dozens of fuel pumps will be listed in the search results--even if you type in the term "waltboro" as the search argument
Was there a particular WALBRO fuel pump that is an exact replacement for the ones in a 2006 Mercury OptiMax 150-HP engine that can be recommended?
And what is the price? It's the price that is the most important element in this inquiry.

[The proper search term] yes [indeed is] Walbro. [That] darn spell checker [in the browser that I used must have changed the search term]!

[The cost of a Walbro replacement fuel pump will be] considerably less than the $800 that Mercury charges.jimh wrote:Was there a particular WALBRO fuel pump that is an exact replacement for the ones in a 2006 Mercury OptiMax 150-HP engine that can be recommended?
