89 Merc Fuel Pump Installation- How

I had a bad fuel pump on my 1989 Merc 35hp outboard S/N 0b167294. I removed it with some difficulty due to a mounting screw rubbing against the lower cowling. I thought nothing of this at the time. I rebuilt the square fuel pump without any problems, but noticing that the pump does not stay together due to the new springs, gasgets, and diaphrams. I tried every which way to get it mounted back on the engine but to no avail.

Has anyone had the same problem or know how to remount it?

Thanks for any help

Is that a 2 piece lower cowl? If it is split them and the side will be open.

Boat started flawless after storage for 5 mos. After launching, would not respond with "burst". Tried to have it clear itself, with no success.what tricks are there to look for in fuel filter and fuel pump, before accessing direct injection? Lead time is 3wks. At local seadoo dealership. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, mike

I have a 1989 Sea Sprite with a 5.8L OMC motor 4 barrel carb. It was hard to start so I gave it some gas with the throttle. It seemed to run fine after it started. I checked the oil after I turned it off and the level had risen. I changed the oil and noticed it smelled like gas. I talked to someone who said he had a similar problem caused by spark plugs.
