After running for hours I will get to the ramp, pull the boat out and proceede to flush motor. Motor runs for 3 minutes or so then stall. Won't startagain. I get home and try an hour later and it runs fine while flushing for 20 minutes or so. It has happened 4 or five times now. Marnie Max Pompano Beach FL, thinks it is vapor lock and wants to put a booster pump on it for about 650.00 but no guarantee. A long term marine mechanic said to get a carter high performance fuel pump and put it inline. Has anyone herd this or done this? Marine Max said they actually put them on new boats because it eventually happens. It has never happened before this year and I can't figure why its happening now.
