Got a engine question for you guys.
I took the boat out this weekend, first time I have been able to WOT with both engines. Everything seemed great, good water temp, oil pressure, etc. Did I mention I also got to FILL the boat with gas LOL - :facepalm:
My friends and I were practicing docking because I am trying to learn how to use the twin engines to maneuver into tight spaces. All of a sudden my port engine dies and would not restart- Previously, before it did we noticed when it was in reverse it was clunking really bad, almost sounded like a backfire it's hard to describe, however at low RPMs in reverse it didn't clunk.
My home dock location is on my port side so trying to that boat into it's dock space using the starboard engine was not very fun.
The only thing I am thinking is possibly the motor is not getting gas and the fuel filter is clogged. I got water in my tanks last year and they cleaned em out and threw some K100 into them, I have heard this stuff can clog your fuel filters because of all the crap it cleans out... What do you guys think?! :
