The boat has sat for about 8 weeks without running. Had a half full tank of fuel. Topped it off this morning and went to the ramp. It gives the initial ignition strong but then peters out. I have the full warranty but I assume its a fuel/ethanol issue. And would like to save the trip to a mechanic. If I do have to go to a mechanic who is the best? Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Probably stupid question, but did you pump the ball?

Sounds somewhat like you might have gotten some water in the tank after you ran it 8 weeks ago and it started and ran for a few and then the water got to the engine.

If you would, give me a call and I will ask a series of Q's to better determine what may be happening. If it needs to be looked at for warranty after we talk, go see Kenny at Emerald Coast Marine. Hope I will be able to narrow it down. Call me when you can be at the boat.

Thanks for the replys guys. Not a stupid question but yes pumped both balls, one at the tank and one after the water/fuel seperater. The battery had a full charge and I spent 30 minutes at the ramp trying to start it. May not have been so strong after that. I got impatient after my initial post and started calling around. It was suggested that I go see Kim at Harbor view, So I took it there hoping it is warranty related. I'm waiting, impatiantly, to hear from them. The water is glass right now and I was looking forward to being on the water this morning. Maybe this afternoon.
