Ok,  first off I wuld go direct port injection, assuming you can get a factory
manifold to do it easily....

the metal parts subject to corosion  (steel, iron)  have to be coated to prevent
this, and constantly looked after....I used Krylon crystal clear spray can
paint.....laasted for 3 years that I had the boat...outdoor storage....

You have to use Aeroquip double meshed wall fireproof fual hose rated to  real
hi poundage/pressure...~200psi?  

you have to either have a fire supresor,  look at your carb supressor...it's not
an aircleaner,  it's a steel screen/mesh arrangement...in case of backfire/fumes
in the hold.....or a metal tubing going outboard for air induction,   this is
matal throughout...no hose clamps,    I used flexible exhaust tubing, stainless,
put a screen on the intake to keep out bugs....:-)))

the computer will have to be RTV'd till weatherproof.....

das all,  it should slow you down for the winter.....:-)))      GENE

the return line should also be up to spec.

the pump should be the sealed type,  frame mounted.....
