:smt021Just got my '02 240 SunDeck back from being repaired. Had an alarm going off that was apparently the block pressure sensor, so that was fixed - no more alarm. The main reason I sent the boat in was to address a "surging" problem at higher throttle/rpm's. I can cruise all day at 3200-3400rpm or around 32mph but if I try to throttle up the engine starts bucking and almost goes into a stall if I don't back off the throttle. The shop replaced the IAC (Idle Air Control) thinking that was the culprit, but I told them that was doubtful. I took the boat out this past weekend and it immediately exhibited the same problem. Now all I can figure is that the fuel pump is bad. Anyone else had this experience? Any advice? I am currently unemployed and cannot afford to be dumping money into my boat right now. Hopefully this is an easy fix, but I haven't had anyone confirm that for me or even diagnose the problem correctly yet. Thanks in advance. :smt100
