This is for my 24' 1986 Duckworth Magnum.

The boat seems a bit underpowered, especially at elevation at a 5000' high lake. When I turn on the new (or the old) fuel separator almost anywhere, the boat dies and will turn over, but no restart. Does this sounds like a fuel pump, or something else? Where are the pumps generally located on these aluminum jet boats, and is there a place to plug in a fuel pressure gauge?
