Hi Guys. I have an 89 bayliner with original omc cobra 302 HO motor. I just purchased it, and it was "supposidly ready to go". PO has documentation of carb cleaning, new alternator, and rebuilt starter all within the last year. The boat runs great without load initially, and even runs well off of the trailer and out of the marina, but today i get about a half mile up river and she stalls out and is dead in the water (not to mention in the middle of the channel, scary). it would still idle in short intervals but would not go into gear under load without dying. Now, a gentleman at the marina is convinced this may be due to water in the gas tank. says since the water sits lower than gas, it runs fine until i get it shook up from chops, and then it trys to pull water up to the motor and prevents it from getting sufficient fuel. Is this a posibility? what are some other possibilities? plugs seem to be good, and carb seems to have been serviced rather recently. what should i do from here? i truly appreciate any and all suggestions provided. Please let me know what additional information i can provide to assist in diagnosis. Thank you! Ryan
