have a 2008 bayliner w/a 3.0 mercruiser TKS still in break-in period, and the first time in water EVER (this summer) the boat was hard to start (needed starting fluid) and bogs on idle to main circuit- shouldn't the accelerator pump "squirt" from idle to main circuit?, 'cause there is not one. also the water temp gauge pegs when key is on-and falls back when unhooked at sender- how to check the sender?- what should it read on an ohmeter? thanks for any help.
