I ran the boat offshore and trolled around 2000 rpms for 3 hours. Running out, we ran mostly at 4000-4500 rpms with no problems. On the return, I was again running about 4000 rpm and went to slow down and the engine starting sputtering like I was running out of gas.m Fuel gauge was reporting under a 1/2 tank. The bulb was full. I powered back up and ran for a few minutes, sputtering continued for a minute and then stopped. No alarms, all gauges were within range. Then I stopped the boat and the engine died and I almost did not restart it. I started it by squeezing the bulb a few times which was already firm and then powering up as soon as the engine turned over. It got me to the dock with no incidents.
got up current of the dock at 4000 (prob pee'd a few people off) powered down and the engine died as expected and drifted down to the dock. Could not re-start and keep the engine running at the dock. Had to load the boat manually.
Any Ideas? Bad Fuel? Fuel Pump?
