Hello guys im having trouble with my boat approaching trailer at the ramp dies ..I’ve checked the fuel line all the way back to the tank looking for gas leaks… recently swapped the hose coming out the haul to my primer ball to a clear 1(just for the time testing) to be able to see my gas flow…

Notice….that my gas line looses pressure from the primer ball back to the tank as soon as my foot is off the throttle !!!

I wanna say Air leak?!?!?! Or bad fuel pump
