Everytime that I go out on the ocean and run my engine at full power it shuts down after about 5 minutes. I try to pull start the engine but it will not start. After a tow-in and it is out of the water on the wash rack for about 30 minutes it will start after a few pulls??? During my attempts to restart the engine, I pumped the fuel ball and there was fuel in the inline fuel filter. Was told that it was an overheat problem so I changed the thermostate but this did not help and the problem continues.

Check the compression, check the gear oil and check for fire on the spark plugs. If they are all ok, then look at the fuel system. 99 times out of 100 it's a dirty carb.
