I have 1998silverline boat in very good shape never had any issues with it til now . Went for a long ride , came into the harbour , engine stalls , restart no problem after a few min. What it sounds like it is running out of fuel , but starts up after a few mins. This engine has a carb , not fuel injection .
I started the engine in my driveway , ran it for 20mins then stalls out , like it ran out of fuel. If it was the fuel pump it would have a hard time starting …
Anyone have an idea . Thank you

What is the motor ? Describe it ? You HAD to wait a few minutes of no starting attempts ? That could be anything.

As asked above, let us know what the whole driveline is - Merc, OMC, etc. - that helps us give ideas.
