I have an '03 Glastron GX205 with a Volvo 5.0. I was on the lake today and opened her up a little bit, and after about 5 minutes it started cutting out and losing power. It almost seemed like it was running out of gas, but, granted the gauge works, it had 1/2 tank. We got a tow to the marina and put 5 gallons of expensive damn gas in it, and nothing. When we got home we took the fuel line off the carb and cranked it and had nothing. I can't hear the pump running. Is it loud enough to be unmistakeable? We had voltage at the pump connector. Any info would be great. Thanks.

It would help to have some more info on your engine, like carbed or EFI, Full model number, or even a SN for a few of us would help.
When was the last tuneup, fuel filter change, and other preventive maintenance done.
Any alarms, temp gauge look ok,?????

it's the fuel pump. i pulled the relay and put a jumper wire across the terminals and checked voltage at the pump connector. i had voltage there so i plugged it back in and had nothing. the pump wasn't running. just to be sure i took the fuel line off the carb and attempted it again...nothing. now here it is, labor day, and nothing's open. but thanks for the reply. next time i have an issue i'll be sure to include more info on the boat/motor. once again, thanks.
