I had the same thing with my 6BTA 370,s. Intake heaters had quit working. Hard start inthe morning, acted like a fuel issue. Repaired the intake heater system and added block heaters. End of problem, wasn't fuel at all. Hope this helps.
 
thanks for all your help with my question..i had an incident with my vessel during my snow crab season a few weeks ago..my vessel sank while we were picking up our snow crab gear..we all got home safe but lost my vessel ThunderHawk..thanks for the help and i will keep checking on the site
