at this point i would replace the fuel line from the tank to the fuel filter,when they get old they can delaminate on the inside of the hose.the ethanal in today,s fuel speeds up this process.

Good idea. Thank you. Are there inline fuel filters before the water/fuel seperator filters on these boats?

What was the fix ? I see you started another thread for something different but stated it runs 'awesome now."

Hi SB. I ended up doing the head gaskets. Had the Heads checked out. Machine shop cleaned em up and said they were fine. I also found the fuel injectors were plugged up. Had those serviced. And did a tuneup. While it was apart I could get to things easier and gave things a once over. Found a ground wire that had worn through and fixed that.
Thank you
Mark
