I bought this boat about a month ago. Upon doing some research I keep seeing similar issues with carbureted engines, but mine is a 4-tec efi. Start/ stop is flawless, it runs fine for a while, even at speed and planing, but usually about 40 minutes in it starts to sputter and die. This happens at speed and at idle. If I let the boat sit for a while after stalling out, it usually starts up and I can get moving up to about 10mph. Then shortly after the sputtering comes back and dies. Seemed to be a fuel/ delivery issue so Ive siphoned out all the old gas which had some water and debris in it, replaced the small cardboard filter with a fuel/water separator/filter, replaced fuel lines from the pump to the filter and the lines from filter to rail. Seems like it runs smoother now but still having the same issues. Starting to wonder if it’s temperature or injector related. Any suggestions/ ideas? Thanks in advance!
