Starboard engine on my 382 stopped after running fine all day with no warning. No alarm and no faults show up on the screen. She'll turn over and run for a few seconds and quit. I changed the fuel filter but it didn't help. 75 hrs on both engines, port still runs fine. Any thoughts? Fuel pump? Is there a reliable tech on the Del-Mar-Va peninsula?

Which filter did you change? The spin on (#31) or the inline (#40) I would if you just did the spin on, the inline might be the culprit with some blockage.

Check the IAC sensors/motors. They have a tendency to burn up which won't allow the boat to idle properly.
I've also read something recently about the mechanic fuel pumps. The older pumps can build up pressure in them and cause issues. Newer ones apparently have a pressure release valve on them.
Last resort, sometimes the first, contact Merc Racing. I'm sure they'll be willing to help.
