You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

No...I'm resisting....

I am sorry but I am on the wagon now....

I'm done....finito..history..

I am retiring from Sailnet....

I lost the edge....I am weak.....so is the flesh.....

BW and the Jeanneau smoking killed me.....

The Hemp enema....I am done...destroyed....

Sold my soul to the devil and the photoshop on ebay...

I am a naked man in the cold streets of photshop...I am the drawing bum....

bye cruel world......forever I will remain without the mystery switch...sic....

closes door and kills himself........sad..but true......

What a nice guy he was.....didn't resist the urge...and died...

RIP

Not a clue when it comes to diesel.
Love the extra HP though.
Dose it sound like a small bilge pump? I don't know of any electric fuel pumps on sail boats, But I could be wrong just never seen one. If it sounds like a small bilge pump but a little quieter it could be a fuel pump.

Have you considered following the wire to see where it goes?

Yes there ARE small cylindrical electric fuel pumps on boats...sometimes. If you put your hand on the cylinder and then work the switch on and off, you will feel vibration IF that switch coontrols the pump. Sometimes such pumps are used to help in bleeding...other times they are used as a lift assist pump when tanks are lower than the engine. Helps in rough seas.
Caveat...there must be a filter in line between the tank and such a pump or you risk clogging the fuel line at the pump in rough weather. Carry a spare if that is indeed what you have. Any standard gas/diesel compatible 12V pump will do and you can get them pretty cheap at any Napa store.

Plumper is on a distinguished road
It could be a lift pump. I have one that fills my stove day tank with diesel.
