Went fishing the other night, made a 20 minute ride to a flat that has been holding some larger reds. Headed back, and made it under the bridge and the new engine starts sputtering, like it was running out of gas. I called my dad, (he is the one that set the gas gage) said all was good, must have been a bad wire, maybe thats why your showing half a tank instead of empty. Does not make sense to me, but he is Pops and knows about everything so I let it go. By this time, when I squeeze the bulb the boat takes off. So I hammer down, run 4400 rmp--- 6.8 mpg, back to the ramp in less then 10 minutes. Back to idol and a idiot alarm comes on. Get the boat on the trailer make it home, rinse everything and start youtubing what it could be. Water in the fuel, I only run non ethanol gas since I got the boat, but a gas station around us I heard was having a problem keeping gas from getting water. Long story short, pumped out 10 gallons of water soaked gas out of the tank. Every gallon I would check it, and there was 2"s of water sitting below the gas. I put seafoam in the tank, when I get home from this trip I will fill it back up and get after it.
Hope all is well in TN,
