"I've got 7 hrs or so this
"I've got 7 hrs or so this year on a 1998, carbeurated 5.0 L Mercruiser. For the last 3 hours, the engine has been cutting out over 3,000 rpm. When this occurs, the fuel gauge starts to bounce on me (not caused by the boat speed fluctuating because at first, the boat speed doesn't). If I insist on keeping the throttle on or try to accelerate, the motor dies. So far, it restarts right up. I'm thinking I have an electrical problem because the fuel gauge needle is the only one that bounces around.
Any suggestions?
Is the fuel pump in tank?
If so, is the pump and sender one unit?
Thanks,
Jeff"
