Boats Back in---Problem Solved !!!

[Van]

What a relief,,,I fixed what i could on Sunday and me and a buddy took her out today. I'm 95% sure the problem was the fuel filter due to the E10 fuel crapping it up. I changed the separator/filter and a small fuel pump filter under the cowling. Fixed the split hose and changed the plugs. I won't worry about the temp sender for now.

She ran smooth as silk went to WOT not a sputter. I was very happy. So happy that we hit a couple of spots and chunked up loads of blues to 10 lbs, some small bass and I released a bass about 38".

Home early now and about ready to leave for Gilette for the STONES concert. So all in all not a bad day.

Isn't boating enjoyable at times glad all turned out well and there was no pandemonium for you to deal with.

Van,

Good deal your up and running.

I'm curious how much time did you had on the filters ???

I told my self I would change my filters 1/2 way into the summer I think I will do it this weekend there on the boat ready to go.

I think it's about time for the macks to show around here

in my old fishin Van i had a b#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g problem
and determined it was rot in the metal tank...
which i eventually had replaced...

but the thing i found quite useful to have
was those see thru fuel filters on the carb
because in a glance you could tell it needed
servicing...and i'd keep a spare ready to
slap in at a moments notice.

I only would replace the sep/filter before winterize so no chance of water freezing in there. I have never changed it mid season (until now) so IMO it must be due to the E10......
I have never changed the one under the cowl, I don't think I will for many years, the new 10 microns should take care of everything.
