Two months ago I put my boat on the water and after 5 minutes running the starboard engine just died and didn't want to start. I took it home, cleaned the air box, filter (which was really dirty) and started the boat-no problems. Next time i put it on the water same thing-the engine died after 5-10 minutes. I took it to a Marina this time and they opened the engine-one of the pistons was damaged. Both engines had 135/135 compression before that. Well we put a new (rebuilt) engine and the guys checked the oil pump-it wasn't working. I purchased used one from eBay (the guy had sold over 10 all good) and we installed it. Same problem-it's not working. The engine starts and runs fine (we mixed the gas with oil) but this pump doesn't pump oil. Are we doing something wrong? Any ideas?
