2005, 242, 5.7L. Just bought it. All tuned up, tank topped off. Ran good for first 45 minutes at 4000 rpms then all of sudden motor slows down/boggs and then dies. Starts up, put in gear, little throttle and dies.. Thank God for Towboat US.
When I bought boat tank had 3/4 tank. I know for sure boat sat on trailer for 2 seasons could be longer. Can't ask owner, not on this earth any longer. I did add Seafoam and Marine Sta-bil before topping off tank. Installed a drainable water fuel filter.
Bad, stale fuel? Bad fuel pump?
I am thinking of attaching an outboard fuel tank to fuel line with new fuel and test.
