This week I put my boat back in the water for the first time this season. In December, I did my annual maintenance. I did not fog the engine. I filled up the fuel tank and added some sta-bil. I replaced the fuel filter. The engine starts fine when first launched. I run it for about 45 minutes and then sat for several hours. Enough time for the engine to cool back down all the way. When I go and try and restart the engine, it turns over and then dies. I tried for awhile and it would not start. I had to throttle up to get it started. This happened two days in a row. The first day I burned 14 gallons of fuel and topped the tank off between the two outings. Someone mentioned I might have water in my fuel. After the second time, I added another 14 gallons, but haven't run it since.
My engine is still under warranty. Should I bring it back in for service? Or should I wait until the next outing to see if the new fuel will solve the problem.
