Motor runs fine on smooth water...but as soon as its in rough water engine wants to stall. Almost seems like a fuel issue. Changed the fuel filter while on the water and it will run fine for awhile and then stalls out.
I fish the Parker Strip most of the time and it can get pretty choppy out there. Motor is not fuel injected so could it be the carb float not working
right in the rough conditions. I dont have a clue ????

Check your old filter for water, a contaminated tank in rough water will stir up the water laying under the fuel and rapidly clog a fuel filter.
