No consolation to anyone who has problems but there was no paint flaking on my '07 CFIII. I did crack one of the stupid fittings off at the hose when I was replacing an impeller though and couldnt find a replacement fitting. My boat was used in salt water for two years when new then moved up here into fresh water, I have no idea what the previous owner did for flushing but there was zero corrosion in the housing and no paint flaking.
Since it had low hours I just bought a new housing for 400.00 and it had the newer screw in fittings instead of the whole assembly, still way too much for a breaking a plastic 50 cent fitting IMO. Whoever came up with the impeller/fuel pump setup on these should get kicked in the nuts..
