Yeah i highly doubt this is fuel related. The boat runs like a champ..The only problem is starting intermittently..I have had fuel issues in the past and it will sputter or not run right..This seems to be electrical..WOW - my initial thought is that it sounds like a vapor lock problem, but the Honda VST is supposed to overcome that issue. I'm a 225 owner, but I think the 150 has a VST similar to the 200/225. When is the last time you drained it? It may be worth your while to pull the VST, clean it thoroughly, check the needle valve, and replace the high pressure fuel filter while you're in there.
Yesyes...squeeze bulb tight?
yes....couple of beeps?
no....lights come on for two seconds then go off?
no...the battery charge light does not stay on (when the other lights go off)?

Well in the past when subjected to water in fuel it would surge and struggle..It always started the motor..I am just not sue I believe their diagnoses..From your previous descriptions, that is about the last thing I would have suspected. Careful!!! I've seen very little traffic on this or other forums about the HP fuel pump failing. Filter getting clogged - yes. But the pump failing - No. They are apparently very rugged and very reliable. And when they fail, they tend to fail completely. Mike will know a lot more about that than I do.
