my motor runs great for the first hour or so. After that it goes into fuel starvation and Bogs down to the point of stalling. I have just replaced everything from the fuel pickup to the motor and still the same problem. 1st hour out runns fine after that you have to pump the primer ball to keep the engine running. I am reluctant to have a diagnostic done when it takes so long for the issue to present itself and at this point I am thinking (and I am no expert) that my fuel pump is failing. I am at my witts end as I am watching tuna season pass me by. Can anyone help?

I looked around the motor for a mechanical fuel pump and didn't see one. Could it be an electric pump?
I will look again when I get home from work.
