Have been having ongoing issue with motor cutting out after 10-15 minutes of running and then will not restart. After taking boat in for repair multiple times, was eventually told that the float switch needed to be replaced/had gone bad due to poor fuel being used. After having this work done there is a consistent leak from the places shown in the photo, but otherwise the motor seems to work fine. Anybody know what the leak is from, or have any guess as to if this needs to be fixed asap or can run for another month? Thanks in advance.

better take it back to the mechanic. The fitting may have been stressed/cracked and the drain plug o-ring missing, loose, or overtorqued
