"I have an 1988 30' SeaRay

"I have an 1988 30' SeaRay Weekender with twin 5.7L Mercruisers that is having an RPM fluctuation problem in the Port engine. Initially the Port engine began to backfire after running at 3000 RPM's. The problem was diagnosed as water in the fuel. The water / fuel separator was changed and seemed to correct the problem. However, after about ten minutes into the sea trial the RPM's began to race approx. 500 to 700 RPM's higher than the Starboard engine. Any ideas as to what the issue might be?"

"i think I have the same problem... I took on a huge wave last weekend... swamped the entire bow (where tank is) and even came over the windshield. she ran fine for the rest of the day, but the next morning she was sputtering and lacking power big time. My problem is that I've still got a half tank of gas. What would be be the best ways to remove all that water? thanks"
 
"If you have a water separator

"If you have a water separator, keep dumoing the gas/ changing the filters.

If you don't, GET ONE.
