I have a 98 Rinker 232 with Bravo 3 drive and Mercruiser 5.7. It is carburated not fuel injected. This weekend it had a tendency to wanna die when first putting in. It would fire up but then die as soon as I would try to open it up. Once warmed up it ran ok but not like it should. The problems I noticed was that at low speeds it would surge up and down. Basically vrrrr......vroom......vrrrr......vroom.... If that makes since. You could feel the boat surging up and down. It is also making a squeech which I'm pretty sure is a ideling bearing. It is not a belt. Think the two problems could be related? Any suggestions?
