Dies after 10-15 minutes WOT after first putting boat in water. Motor will immediately re-start, but idles rough and dies again. If it cools for 10 minutes or so, it will re-start and get back on plane, but then dies again. After 1st incident, I found my fuel hose lining had deteriorated, and the filter/separator bowl was full of debris. I replaced the fuel hose and cleaned the lines from the quick connect all the way to the lift pump. Next trip, motor idled about 100 yds. from the ramp and died. Would start again, but died immediately. Pulled lift pump, found junk in check valve, cleaned and re-assembled. Next trip, back to original problem, died after 10-15 minutes at WOT. Pulled cover, noticed filt/sep bowl was empty. Pumping bulb filled the bowl, but didn't seem to help engine run any better. The only thing that seems to help is time to cool off, but then it will only run for a minute or so, then die again. I have a good water stream coming out of pee hole, and this is downstream from the fuel cooler, so I wouldn't think this is vapor lock, but it sure seems like it. Thanks in advamce for your help!
