1984 Egg Harbor 41 ft dual Crusader gas engines.
Just bought this boat. Survey went well with good sea trial. First day of ownership was a trip to refuel. Both engines died a few minutes apart in my way there. I assumed I ran out of gas because previous owner put only 20 gallons in each tank, although it is only about 30 minutes to get fuel. I put 75 gallons in each tank. Ran great and got back to the slip. 3 days later, I took her out for about an hour and both engines quit 30 seconds apart. Started that trip with gas gauge reading half full. Now it’s not registering any fuel.
Changed both filters on the port engine and can get fuel to pump from a handheld can from the inline filter to the carb but nothing from either tank. It’s as if the tanks are empty but that can’t be. Any suggestions would of course keep my sanity.
