So - I'm posting this here, as I rather not have anyone else experience down time on their boat in the middle of July.... Lost my fuel pump this past Saturday right around Noon - awesome time, given the 80 degree day - and Holiday weekend.... So mechanic came, looked at it, and yes it is a fuel pump. Never used the boat less than 1/4 tank... but don't know when the last time I changed my fuel filter? Possible cause - blocked fuel filter - causing the pump to burn up. Apparently - MC - has extended the warranty of this pump to 3 years if you are the original owner - (unfortunatly I am not) - - but this has been a pretty common problem with this model year.... So - the question is to everyone - when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? I know I'll be changing mine every year when I winterize, as it's a simple $20 maintenance item. The kicker - pump is $500 - and I can't find one in the state of Minnesota at the moment, so still trying to round one up. Wish me luck as I try to dig up a fuel pump for a dead X1 sitting in my garage.
