Please help I have a 5.7 volvo penta engine in my boat, engine just quit, I can turn key on and I can hear electric fuel pump working but no fuel to carbs, if I pour a little gas in carbs boat starts fine. please help
 
No expert but a couple of things I would check

1, fuel level in tank
2, change fuel filter/water separator
3, filter on carb

you didn't mention the year if an older version maybe having issues with deterioration of fuel components related to ethanol
 
You should have two fuel pumps, one may be working while the other one not. Also, make sure the red fuses on the risers have not tripped.
