I went out yesterday and ran the boat, it ran fine at all power setting then at 3800 rpm at cruise and about 30 minutes later the engine quit. I pumped the fuel bulb and it ran fine for about 10 minutes then it quit again. I did this until I got the boat out. Questions are, 1. The fuel bulb never felt hard, 2. I looked at the fuel filter on the engine and it showed no water but only had fuel at about 3/4 up the filter by a black line.(is this normal) 3. The only thing that I have done to the engine/ boat recently was about 3 hour earlier I installed a new water/fuel filter. The engine starts on first turn and idles fine and runs smooth. I took out the fuel/water filter to check it but it fell out of my hand, so I could not tell if any water was in it. But, it looked clear and there was a white cap at the top of the filter before I dropped it. Is this how they work, or can they be defective? Boat has not run for 3 months. Thank, Ronnie.
