2006 Mercury OptiMax 150-HP: Source for Fuel Pumps

Postby fina » Fri Aug 29, 2025 1:11 pm

Q1: what vendor is a good source for fuel pumps for 2006 Mercury OptiMax 150-HP at less than $700 each?

BACKSTORY
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."

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.
