I have no idea how bad? Motor ran like a champ from the orange boat ramp to I-10 then died. I got it started but when I would put it in gear and give it some gas it would die. I went last night and bought a new tank,hose,and fittings. The fitting that I bought for the tank was for an evinrude,but the hose won't snap and stay on the fitting. I used my old tank today and when I got home I noticed some cracks around the area around the base of the fitting on the tank?:spineyes:Im thinking of just making it an anchor!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry:

Fuel, fire, and rotation... Gotta have em', you know the drill :D

I presume you fished your way back to the landing an limited out ...

I didn't even have a pole in the boat. I went just to run the boat. I thought it was good until it died. My little e-tec went to e-junk! Its still under warranty so I'm putting in the shop.

I bet it is your fuel pump, I know of 2 25hp E-Tec motors that had this problem

Do you have a fuel filter/water separator on your motor.

I have a filter but no water separator. I think I will invest in one. I will be getting the boat to the shop this week.
Thanks for all the info!

The reason I was asking was a guy at work has a 25hp etec and Lake Area Marine told him the fuel pump wasn't strong enough to pull fuel through a water separator. If you had one, I was gonna suggest that maybe your problem.

I had the same problem with my 25 merc, the problem was the fuel line inside the tank was cracked and sucking air, not getting fuel from the tank. Put a new line in tank no more problems.

I was thinking about that,yesterday I pull the line out of the tank and the fuel stayed in the tube. When I would tap on the tube the fuel would drain out back into the tank???

It could be getting air in line and losing suction.

Well looks like its to the shop we go! I came home today it started up first pull and idled fine. I looked at the engine management module and one of the LED lights is on for sensor fault. I sure hope its a speedy recovery!
Thanks for all the help and ideas.

Good luck !!! Better get that thing runnin' quick, its pre-fish time :D

Hydro

Im going to bring it to shop very soon. We only have three weeks to get ready!

Good luck latex!!!!

Looks like its going to be FIVE WEEKS until lake area marine can get to it.:cry:

Man, that blows.... Any Etec dealers in Beaumont ???

No,not yet I talked to the evineude rep. at the classic he told me a big dealer in Beau.is about to? I hope its not that long. My dad always had good things to say about Lake Area. I hope they do a good job?

Keep us posted and good luck !!!

Well finally got my boat back and its going back in the shop Monday! Its doing the samething? The shop said the e.m.m. wasn't seeing enough water pressure so the computer was shuting the motor down. They change out the water pump and is still shuting down. I just hope it wont take six weeks to get it back this time.:pissed:

Unreal !!!

Remember what I suggested to you the other day ???

Hydro

I remember and I'm thinking of doing it! I just have to get this thing running.
