I am a newbie to boating, today was my second day on the lake.
Everything was fine when out of nowhere my engine cuts off. I turn around to look at it and the hose that goes from fuel tank to engine was wrapped around the props, cut, and oil was leaking into the lake (the hose is long as hell and there was to much slack). I jumped in to untanlge it from the prop and notices that the pressure ball pump (not sure the real name) was gone and the tube was cut in half.
My dad had another pressure ball pump at home so I tried using that, it got hard but the engine still would not kick on fully.
What could be wrong?
Maybe water got sucked up and the spark plugs are wet?
What do you guys think? I cant be the first moron this happened to.
The engine is brand new, Yamaha 9.9.
Please help, any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks
