I have a 1998 Searay 310. Twin 350 Mercruisers,300 HP inboards. At the end of last season, my starboard engine began 'popping' when under load at @ 2200 RPMs. Treated the fuel but, no change. I took it to a very confident mechanic, who suspected a fuel system problem. New filter, new injectors, O rings checked. Pressures OK. He said my valves were 'tulipped' (or two lipped?) and replaced them. 'Heads are OK' and 'timing is perfect' he said. On a sea trial, the popping sound was the same. He changed the fuel pump, new water pump, and a sensor or two. NOW...when I put it into gear, the engine sputters and stalls. I need a hero.
