Default Mariner Stalled Out - Wouldn't Start

Regarding a 1994 200HP Fuel Injected Mariner Yesterday I was running up the river taking it pretty easy. We were running about 50MPH when I let a couple of wakes surprise me and we got bounced around pretty hard. A few seconds afterward the boat started slowing down. I cut the throttle, and it was dead. I tried to crank it over a couple times, and it would not start. I pumped up the squeez bulb, and tried it again. It cranked over but would not fire. I pulled the cowling off and tried to look it over for something wrong. I couldn't find anything at all. There was some gas in the cowling and on the side of the motor. Just then a couple guys came up to ask if I needed some help. They suggested I squeez the bulb and see if I could tell where the gas came from then. We found it. There is a small square brass fitting on the back of the plenum on the left sie of the motor that has a small hole in th back of it. When I squeezed the bulb gas jetted out of the hole. At that point I just put the cowling back on and asked the guys who stopped to tow me in. I did not try to start it again.Today I decided to give it a once over and see if I could figure it out. I hit the key and the motor fired up instantly. I shut it down and tried it again. It fired isntantly and seemed to idle almost perfectly each time I tried it. I shut it down and pumped the squeeze bulb. No gas jetted out. After going over the wiring and and fuel lines very carefully the only thing I could find was that one screw was missing from the CD Ignitions packs, and they were a little loose on the other screw. All the wiring looked ok to both so I don't see how that could have caused my problem. Any ideas based on the symptoms?
