Mount the pump where it won't get wet. I used to run a blue holley. First one failed (leaked) after a season and a half. Second one also failed but half way through season. This time I decided to take it apart. There is a tiny hole on the body. Water got in through there and rusted the shaft just behind that hole. The rust on the shafts ate up the seal. It's probably what caused the first one to leak too. Ruined my day both times. I will never run one in a boat ever again. Now I have mechanical. No switch, wiring, or relay to fail. Good luck.

I had the same problem. I'm not a fan of the Holleys

No it's factory set at 14 I think. That's why you have the regulator

Is regulator adjustable?

Have a picture of your regulator? If it's same as mine it'll have a 3/16" Allen bolt with a jam nut. You turn in or out to adjust pressure then tighten the jam nut again

Yep, loosen the jam nut, and the Allen stud is the adjuster.

It might be realitively close out of the box. I use my gauge off that port right on the side

Ok thank you. I read the instructions lol after I talked to you. Seems like those help sometimes.
