I have a Mercruiser 228 that I can't seem to figure out what's wrong. I had it out today and it fired right up and ran great. We stopped for a few hours and caught some fish. When it was time to head back, the boat was harder to start. It would idle fine, but as soon as you put it in gear, it died. I was finally able to get it running in gear but it ran horribly. Spit and Sputter the entire way back to the dock and finally stalled again. Same thing, it would idle but as soon as you put it in gear, it dies.
Anyone know where I should start? I was thinking carb, but it was just replaced about three months ago ( after doing the same thing twice before)?
