I hope all are well and having a great boating season.
I need some advice on a starting issue. The problem originated I beleive from bad fuel and as a result plugs looked like a need for a change. I have a 2002 SeaRay weekender powered by a mercruiser 5.0 bravo 3. I pumped old fuel out and replaced plugs. Engine started (in driveway). Went to launch and had a hard time turning over. Placed in slip, next time out cranked and would not turn. Changed water/fuel seperated a couple of squirts of starting fluid and started 1st turn. Now it is back to cranking and not starting. Not sure about seperator, it is a 25 micron. Should it be different like a 10? Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
