Sorry for your aggravation. It would be a great boast for a motor maker to say they will pay a tow due to engine failure, wouldn't it?

I'm not saying you were abusive but new motors do have a break-in period where the builder advises running at moderate engine speeds. Some operators get through this run-in period by letting the motor idle at the dock or on the hook, or hose. 15 hours would be well within most recommended time frames .

I'm not sure this would matter for a fuel pump but it wouldn't hurt.

Good luck!
