Noticed slight sheen of oil or fuel coming from exhaust of Starboard engine while at fuel dock on AD41B. Oil level down about 1 quart at that time, oil pressure was running at 58-60, where it has run for years and engine running smoothly with no indication of any problems. Headed outside marina at trolling speed and about 10 minutes out there was a slight surge in RPM (200-300) for 10-15 seconds then returned to normal, five minutes later engine sputtered 10-15seconds then totally shut down and would not even turn over. Oil Pressure never dropped below 50, but did find upon returning to dock that engine was 3-4quarts low...no indication of oil leaking anywhere in bilge or appearance of water in engine oil. Now engine struggles to turn over for just a few seconds then nothing, sounds similar to a starter about to go out or dying battery. The battery's are fully charged and starter is receiving power. Also cracked the fuel lines and fuel is getting to the injectors. I really have no idea what is going on or where to start trouble shooting.
