This past weekend was the first for the boat to be in the water this year.
I have a 20 W/A with a single 150 H.P. Mercury Outboard.
I had a problem, actually the same problem 2 times on Saturday. While running slow to start another drift The motor would choke and sputter and eventually quit running. After investigating it the first time the ball on the fuel line was very soft. After I squeezed it the boat ran fine for awhile and then it happened again.
Any suggestions for my problem? I am thinking I just need to replace the ball.
Thanks!

Is there a crack in the fuel line - getting air into the system?
I think the problem is - you need to buy my Blackfin. I'll take your boat in on a trade.

www.eboatloans.comProb 7.75 - 8% loan rate Very simple math Shane.. Blackfin = X Your Boat = Y Total = X-Y = Z Boat Loan! Z Div. by 180mo = ?? !!! You can do it. I'll throw in a FULL TANK of DSL Take your boat in on Trade Dock lines Maybe I'll even throw you a few bucks for slip rent DEAL or NO DEAL? (Which BTW was friggin Funny as HELL last night!!!)

x= 89000 y=20000 z-69000
@ 8% for 10 years = $837.16/month @ 8% for 15 years = $659.39/month

Shane,
I've had the same problem on my pontoon boat. I've replaced the ball twice now, and that seems to fix it. Another idea is if you have a fuel/water seperator, make sure it's filled and there's no air in it.

ok, I will check both out...
The boat is a 2000, I am thinking that the ball is the original... So I am thinking that is the whole problem... Maybe the cracked fuel lines like Ryan said.
If the Fuel/Water seperator is not full what should I do? Take it off, fill it with gas and put it back on?

Shane,
Isn't her folks supposed to pay? lol Don't get mad, I paid $25K for my wedding...... I was thinking firehall, she was thinking country club. But, it's HER day. If you don't make it special, you'll be paying for it for the next 50 years.
For the seperator, just look at the clear part on top, if you see a bubble, there's air in it.
