while underway boat port motor shuts down...
Motor is a 502 EFI.... the vapor lock issue was fixed by running return line back to the tank. Today while coming out of the hole and up on plane crusing along the damn thing kept shutting down intermittently. What might be the cause of this? Thanks.

You might try checking the coil to your ignition....???
Back during the 1990's a friend of mine would be cruising along in his boat for about 20-30 minutes and his engine would shut down without any kind of warning. Not knowing exactly why, the engine would not restart until the coil was cool again. This would repeat itself over and over. I do not remember all the details, but after a few frustrating days of trial/error he finally found out the coil to the ignition was getting too hot.
Perhaps someone else can chime in as to what your problem may be.
