Hi,

My boat is cutting out while on plane for about 20-30 seconds. A few friends have told me fuel pump. My mechanic has already charged me $100 to tell me he can't find the problem and wants to charge another $200 more to take it out on the water to trouble shoot.

My serial number is B207297.

I think I am going to have someone just replace the fuel pump and the primer bulb.

Is this the best course of action?

Also, if someone could send me a link to a fuel pump that fits my boat it would be sooo greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil
