Electronics and water do not play well together. Pull the MPI crap off and toss it...then put on an Edelbrock Air Gap intake with a marine Holley 800 mechanical secondary carb and ALL your issue will be history.

Try this,you have just about changed everything on the electronics end,,have you checked your charging system..try removing the + wire on the back of the alternator but make sure your battery is fukkt charged..start the boat and see how it runs..if the alternator goes bad sometimes it will throw a/c voltage @ the electrical system and screw everything up in the pcm's voltage..

Look for signs of fuel in the vacuum line between the plenum and the VST. You could be drawing in raw fuel under high vacuum/low fuel consumption conditions due to an overflowing VST. The line should be dry so check float and needle valves for wear/debris if it's not.

I had one do this exactly to me right after a rebuild. Changed the water circulating pump (bad) and it fixed everything. Now, who can tell me why that fixed it?
