What kind of fuel line/pump do you have? Is there a primer bulb?

Yes it has a primer bulb. I don't know on the pump

Was the primer bulb remaining full and primed when you were experiencing the engine sputter? I somewhat doubt the primer is the issue given you could run full throttle, but it is something to check.

Yeah don't know. I primed it at the dock and never touched it after. I'm likely going to take it in and have the entire motor gone through anyway and they can figure it out. LOL

So took it in to the boat dealer last night. They already knew what was wrong with it. Throttle body is likely shot or at best needs adjusting. These motors are good motors except for this issue they say as it is very common. Might be $300-400 to fix that.

Better to get fixed now than getting stuck out on the lake.

Yeah and on top of it shit not working right bothers me. I'm not one to ignore issues and just run it.

On the leaking issue. I had an old alumacraft and rivots would occasionally leak. Every spring I put the boat in the driveway, filled it with water and watched for the leaks. Circled them with a Sharpie and let the boat dry out for a few days. Then I went back with silicon goop and put it in the holes. Would usually last for at least a couple years.

Just got a call from the deal ship. The throttle body is actually fine and they think it was just bad gas. So that will save some money.

Boat is really coming together. Runs good. Fishes good. I like it.
