Hi all, I bought a 96 Campion last year with a 3.0 Volvo/Penta last year. The engine starts and idles fine. When I open it up on the lake, the engine stalls suddenly. The motor will turn over and will restart in a couple of minutes. This happens over and over and gets worse. I brought it to a local boat shop last year and he replaced the distributor cap, module and put in a carb kit. He said he couldn't duplicate the problem but also said he didn't have the right attachment for my leg for his wet tank. So I put it in the water again and same thing happens. This year, I assume that I have a fuel problem. I checked the main filter and find debris and crap in the filter bowl. I removed and cleaned the fuel tank and changed the filters. Exact problem happens again. I'm not sure what to troubleshoot any longer. I forgot to mention that the temp gauge on idle is around 150 and never stalls. I wished I would have noticed exact temp just before it stalls but I didn't notice anything unusual as I scan the gauges regularly. From reading some of the other posts, is it possible that I have a faulty oil pressure sensor? Bad thermostat?
