Just finished a two year rennovation of my 1971 glastron v-174 Mercruiser 165 inline 6. Has most everything new except gas tank, gas line, engine and exhaust. Sterndrive was in good condition. Took it out today for the first time. Ran great for the first 45 mins, but very strong gas fumes coming from the bow of the boat where the gas tank is located. Boat stopped dead in the water. Thinking it was not getting gas, I change in small carb filter and took the Racor water seperater off and just hooked the gas line into the pump. After about 20 mins, started and ran for abt. 15 more mins then stopped. Had to be towed in...Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
