Sierra 18-97306 97306 Yamaha Outboard Electric Fuel Pump

Keep your Yamaha outboard running smoothly on the water with a reliable electric fuel pump designed for peak performance. This aftermarket gem delivers consistent fuel pressure, even during those long days chasing fish or cruising open waters. Boat owners swear by its rugged build that stands up to saltwater exposure and vibration, ensuring you spend more time boating and less time troubleshooting.

Superior Engineering for Demanding Marine Conditions

Crafted with precision, this pump uses a gerotor design that provides positive displacement for unwavering fuel delivery. Unlike lesser pumps, it maintains steady pressure across varying engine demands, reducing the risk of hesitation or stalling mid-run. The carbon commutator is a standout feature—slashing electrical amp draw to preserve your battery longer and minimizing radio frequency interference (RFI) so your marine electronics stay clear and interference-free.

• Built Tough: Exceeds original equipment standards with materials chosen for corrosion resistance and extended service life.
• Efficient Operation: Low-amp design eases the load on your charging system, ideal for extended trips.
• Quiet and Clean: Suppresses electrical noise, protecting VHF radios, GPS, and fish finders from glitches.
• Consistent Flow: Gerotor mechanism prevents cavitation, delivering smooth power from idle to wide-open throttle.

Why It Matters for Your Yamaha Outboard

Nothing kills a perfect outing like fuel starvation. This electric pump steps in as a drop-in solution, restoring factory-like performance without the OEM price tag. It's particularly vital for outboards where fuel system reliability directly impacts throttle response and top-end speed. Anglers and weekend warriors alike report fewer breakdowns and better fuel economy after swapping in this unit.

Spot the signs your old pump is failing? Listen for whining noises, erratic idling, or black smoke from poor combustion—these are common culprits in marine fuel systems exposed to ethanol-blended gas. Upgrading here nips those issues in the bud.

Effortless Integration into Your Setup

Boat mechanics appreciate the straightforward install. It bolts right into place using familiar mounting points and connects with standard wiring—no custom fab needed. Pro tip: Always inspect fuel lines and filters during replacement to maximize longevity. Pair it with fresh non-ethanol fuel for even better results in harsh marine environments.

Real-World Reliability Backed by Boaters

From coastal runs to offshore adventures, this pump has earned its stripes among DIY installers and pros. It handles the heat, humidity, and constant engine pulses that chew up inferior parts. Expect years of trouble-free service, letting you focus on what you love: the open water.
