I have 2003 Yamaha 225 4 stroke outboard on a 23ft Caravelle WA. The boat is new to me, 4 months so I don't know it's history, but the major, and really only problem is that when I hit rough water, even just water with several boat wakes, within about 5 minutes, it begins to sputter and finally stalls. I can get it started again by pumping the gas bulb on the gas line, but it stalls again as soon as the gas in the lines is used up. I had it tuned 2 weeks ago by a Yamaha master mechanic, new plugs, new fuel filters, new fuel water separator. The tune up improved performance a bit, it runs like a champ in smooth water. I've also had the gas tank polished to remove any water(there really wasn't any we discovered) I'd be grateful for any ideas. Planning to replace the fuel pick up next to see if that helps.
