Well I had my boat out today....and had to get towed back :-(

I changed to the oil, fuel/water separator, cap and rotor (yes i know I should have done that in the winter) and headed to the lake.

I get it into the water and it wouldn't fire up. The problem is I can't hear the pump prime. After messing around with the throttle and turning the key on and off thinking it might be some kind of neutral switch it primed and I thought great we are on our way!!!!

Boated for about 5 minutes and had to shut it off from over heating....because I'm a dumbass and didn't hook up the black hose of the water pump ( lower hose) from that point if I played with the throttle the pump would prime but it only did that for about 4 more times and then it never primed again.

Ended up getting towed back to the dock and loaded it back on the trailer.

Did I fry the fuel pump? could it be a switch

any thoughts? I'm going to re-charge the battery and check to make sure there is fuel in the water separtor. could it be a switch?
