Engine died just after filling gas tank
Will not restart and keep running
Steady alarm beep

Had a slug of water in Filter/water seperator and Vapor seperator .
Removed and drained water seperator and reinstalled
Removed drain plug from vapor seperator and pumped fuel bulb by hand till i could see clean gas / about a 1/2 gallon .
Cleaned plugs and started engine , ran fine !
Alarm would sound untill I unpluged the water probe from water seperator
Ordered new water seperator and probe #Sierra 18 7968 or Quicksilver #35 18458 5
 
I recommend you to empty your fueltank, clean it (thru the tank sender hole) and put new fresh fuel in the tank. This is the only way to go boating trouble free.
