I am assuming this was the issue, however looking for feedback. This was the second time this year I had the boat out. Ran the boat all day Saturday and pulled over for about an hour and a half to anchor. When I went to leave, started the boat and it fired right up. As I was pulling up the anchor the boat started sputtering and popping like it was starved of gas and died. Tried to start the boat several times. It would fire, then immediately die. Let the boat sit for 20 minutes, it fired right up and ran good the rest of the day.

My assumptions.
Air in the fuel line
Run gas with Ethanol in it

Fuel filter

Vapor Lock

Bad gas. Tank is still full, so will have to fill up next time

I have not taken it in to have it checked out due to all systems were a go.

Am I missing something. The boat is an 06 Rinker 226 with a 350MPI.

Thanks for your feedback.

Water fuel separator?

Choke?

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully it was vapor lock. I will find out again after I run it this weekend.

Don't you want to find now, so you can actually enjoy the boat this weekend?

Boat is in storage at the lake and I didn't have time to pull it home last weekend. I live about and hour away. I plan on bringing the parts that I need and boat dealer is right on the lake as well if anything would happen.
