I'm stalling out on the port engine when coming off plane. Sometimes it will take 3-4 tries to get the engine restarted. Has anyone experienced similar. Thanks.

Is it still turning over and just not starting? Or is the Key Dead untill you mess with it for a while. Try unplugging the main plug to the motor let it stay disconnected for 5 min than put some electrical grease on the prongs and plug it back in. Maybe it will reset the computer, and the grease will make sure your getting the maximum performance at that plug.
On my formula I had that problem and it drove me crazy for a month and it was a twin carb boat and at idel I would loose everythign and it was the plug.

Sometimes it takes a few tries to turn back over. Other times it starts right up. On a rarer occasion it stalls when simply switching from forward to neutral or reverse.
Thanks for the info.

I found mine on accident because the blower ran off that side and when wiggled the big wire it worked the blower telling me that the plug was loose or not getting connection...I would bet it has to be that my would die like you said switching between gears and ideling and sometime getting on plane..... Good luck, my cigarette on the other hand runs like a top

That's what happens when the boat sits on the lift in back of your house for years without being run !!!
