"Hello,

This is my first post, so any response is greatly appreciated.

We have a 1994 22' Grady White and we just put a new 2007 225 4 stroke on last year. It has 56 hours.

It ran fine the first 3 or 4 trips and then the next trip, it started fine but cut off. The 5 amp fuse blew and when we put in the spare it blew right away. We have had 3 different fuel pumps and the same problem continues. Last time we completely replaced all fuel lines, vents, hoses and put in a new 93 gallon aluminum tank.

Same problem, we took it out 4 to 5 times without a hitch, the next weekend, blown fuel pump fuse. Any ideas??? The mechanic said that the fuel pump was pulling 8 amps. He also said that the previous pumps were defective and they now have a new pump that should work.

Questions:

1. Could not priming the fuel bulb before starting cause this?

2. Are you supposed to prime the bulb before every start?

3. Does anyone know what may cause this or do I just have a lemon?

4. Who can I contact at Yamaha to get satisfaction?

Thank you very much in advance, Joey"
