1990 Sea Ray 190 with 5.7 Mercruiser 260 hp. Started cutting out or losing rpm after running perfectly for 30 minutes or longer. I have changed both fuel filters and repaired the anti siphon valve. It runs like new until its been running for a period of time at higher rpm. Cranks easily. Seems as though it is starving for fuel.

Check the pick-up in the tank, could be leaking air or partially blocked... Try running directly off an outboard style tank.... That will isolate whether it's tank related...
