2001 1800 Challenger M2 240 EFI and trailer for sale as a project boat. Water is getting into the fuel somewhere, and I have not got the time or energy to commit to fixing it. I have tried to drain the tank, VST, and replaced fuel filters, but issue still keeps coming back. Here is the thread on...

Ok, eventually got more fuel in the tank (Fresh fill), took it out, and stalled again after 20 mins of running. Towed back to dock and more water in the VST/tank. Got the shop involved to see what else could be the issue, and they changed the O ring in the gas cap, and replaced fuel vent, but...

Ok, drained the fuel tank, changed the filters (inline and water separating) and added about 2.5 gallons of gas with double dose of marine stabil (the boat is on a dock, and not near a gas pump, and once I had it going I would fill). Tried to start it and it does not fire, just splutters for...

Thanks Djs!

Thanks again Dr. Honda, a great help. I have the new water separating filter and the inline filter on order (mine is the 240 EFI), so will swap them out as you point out. I’ll post back results, really appreciated again!

Thanks for the help Dr. Honda! When you say ridged hose, what are they? Do you know where I could buy one from or a brand I could search? I am using a manual Gas siphone with some clear quarter inch tube, but as it is so flexible, i had a suspicion that it may not be getting to the bottom of...

Hello, Please be patient with me on this one :) A few weeks back my bilge pump failed, and I took in a lot of water (to the bottom of the battery). I pumped it out and then took out for a run. After about 40 mins in the engine lost power, and shut off. Got towed back to the shop, who said I...

Any update on the issue, I am getting the same symptoms?

You’re in a good spot if Dr. Honda is on your thread, but for what it’s worth, I just had an issue that gave me the same issues as you posted, turned out to be water in the fuel tank. See if you can draw some fuel from the bottom of your tank, water will settle at the bottom of whatever you...

Hey Tim75, just got word back from the shop today that the trigger coil replacement worked!!! He reported back RPM’s are back above 3000, and it was purring along at 55 mph! Cannot thank you and others in the thread enough for the advice and support on this one, greatly appreciated Have a...

Thanks again Tim75. I think I will book it in to have the trigger coils changed, so it is done right first time (and because I ordered the coil now). I have also ordered new ignition coils, which I can do myself Could Rev limiter be a cause for the low RPM issue also? When you say unplug all...

Awesome, Tim75, thank you again. I think i could change out the ignition coils (found 6 for $150 on eBay), and the Ignition control module, but i read about timing possibly being a concern for changing the trigger coils - is that right? If i change all of these, are there any other areas that...

Hi Tim75 I did not change the trigger coils under the flywheel yet, so can try that. Are there many to change? My apologies for the questions, but i am in unknown territory when I get in that engine bay [emoji4] Also, are the ignition coils different from trigger coils? I have not looked at...

Thanks IDoSeaDoo, great advice! Would it be an expensive job to swap the all out to be sure? Thank you all again

Hi all, i know this thread was started back in 2017, but still in same pickle with the boat and would love to get it running for the upcoming season! For the 2 & 5 coils, are these the trigger coils under the Flywheel? Tim75 mentioned this before in the thread, but i am not sure that the shop...
