2004 Moomba Outback LS (Fuel Pump)

[kszlw]

I currently own a 2004 Moomba Outback LS with an Indmar 5.7. The fuel pump is blowing fuses and shows a hard short. I found the OEM part# S556184 for the fuel pump, but no boat dealer has it in stock and the local parts stores cannot cross reference it to another number. Can I purchase this from a local parts store and what part number should be used?

Is this it?

Looks like the color has changed over the years, so don't let that confuse you.

My new fuel pump arrived today and I installed it on my boat. I have not taken the boat out, but after the boat idled for 10 minutes the fuse is too hot to hold. I checked the amps and it appears to be pulling around 10.8 to 11.2. Is it normal for the fuse to be this hot? If not, what else should I consider?
