I have a "12" 200v, 343hp engine. We ran the boat for at least 3hrs yesterday. Went to the lake this morning and started it at the ramp, ran for 10 seconds and shut off. Could not restart. cranked over but only caught when throttle wide open but was stumbling. Pulled back to neutral and shut off. Thinking low fuel pump? Fuel pressure at the rail is only 12.......any thoughts? Yes the lanyard was connected. HA!

Check your fuel drain on your fuel cell, have a small tin cup or thick plastic so you can inspect fuel quality. I would also have someone listen with the engine hatch open to make sure the fuel pump is priming before starting. It very well could be the low pressure pump or filter, but start with the easy things first. Also, when did you last change fuel filters- high and low, was this the first use of the boat this season? It's possible yesterday ride stirred up some sediment in the bottom of the tank. Good luck, stinks when it happens over a holiday. -
Thanks, Don't think it was dirty fuel, we have been out quite a few times already. I only have a small amount of pressure at the rail and there is fuel in the FCC. So now I'm thinking it is the high pressure pump. Gonna start today with unplugging the high pump and see if the low kicks on. Anyone know if the low pressure pump puts out 12lbs? My total should be around 56lbs I believe?Comment

Low pressure pump is 5-8 from memory. You could remove the high pressure pump and put two short lead wires on it and attach it a 12 volt battery to check if it's working.Comment
