97 Mercury 200 EFI .....Fuel Questions???

[ChrisD80]

I have been experiencing intermittent loss of power, the boat will run great for 5 mins then bog out then within 10 min of running like crap it will kick it and run great. I have checked wires, compression(fine), and spark(fine). I was told by a Marina that if the power packs have not corrosion under then and the stator is fine then I should run the fuel lines! Does this sound like something I should be doing with an intermittent power issue? I am open for any suggestions!! Thanks

When did you replace your fuel lines last? Sounds like the lines may be collapsing from ethanol and after motor bogs down the fuel lines open back up and you go until they collapse again.
