Boat stalling out...

[dttheel]

Any idea why a brand new boat (SANTE 2013 less than 5 hours) would stall out repeatedly. We were playing on the lake today and all of a sudden the boat would stall out and act like it was choking. We let it sit for a while while I thought and worried and looked at anything I could. Then we started it back up and it ran fine for about 10 minutes. Then it started doing the same thing. If we got over about 10 mph it would choke up. I'm taking her in to the shop first thing in the morning, but any idea why that would happen?

Fuel system or electrical most probably. First check fuel filter (fuel tank may got empty and dirt clogged it). if not check spark plugs, distrib.cap or rotor

So, we think it was the fuel filters clogging up. Changed them out with new ones, ran every test the dealer had. Here's hoping we got it. Headed to the lake tomorrow.

fuel pump probably

Almost for sure the fuel filter. Brand new boat. Probably some crap in the fuel tank from the manufacturing process clogged the filter.

Some cleaning, drying & anti-humidity spray on distribution cap, rotor and spark heads won´t harm either...

Brand new 2013? That boat sat a long time and had time to collect contaminates in the tank.....

Thanks, guys. That's almost word for word what the dealer said after a good look over and testing. Yes, it is a brand new 2013. Hopefully, we've got this thing.
