Got a question for the experts....I just purchased a 2000 stingray with a 3.0...i'm very happy with the boat but while out riding this weekend noticed something i need you guys help with. Boat runs great starts up no problem issue is after running it a while when i stop and cut it off it spits and sputters and 3 or 4 times before shutting off??? Now it does not do this if i just crank it up and cut it off or run it for just a couple of minutes...but if i run it a few miles it does this?? What's the opinions on the issue??? Thanks!!!!!

Ayuh,... That's called diesiling,...
Sometimes a tune up will cure it...

Ya gotta get it fixed, as it'll cause hydro-lock...
