Thanks Tony...Now I just have to find one for a reasonable cost. I can get aftermarket ones for like $45, original Bosch is like $90 from what I have seen.
Know of any good place for original Bosch?

I called a couple of Bosch dealers, none of them could find a 56 LBS but they could find the 39 LBS. I 've changed the 39 LBS to a 56 LBS with a socket and a vise by compressing the top of the regulator.
It's a pain in the ass, it's squeeze and test, squeeze and test.

Sorry, I ain't doing that. I'm a "buy the right part" kinda guy.
The 39# regulator I have now has already been jimmy'd up a bit, and I'm not gonna run it.

Keith,
There is nothing wrong with buying the right part, just make sure you are willing to open your wallet.:D :D

try www.kinsler.com they dont care what you are using the part for.they sell fuel injection parts to race car teams.it seems like if you mention the word boat the price doubles.do you still need that plug for the trim sensor mounting hole?

I'm gonna go ahead and stick with OEM Bosch. Found a new one for $90...not TOO bad.
Thanks Randy, the powdercoater found them. Whew!
