Hey guys newbie to ever having a boat and to this forum. I need help cause I still haven't got boat out for longer than 15min since I got it as a gift. Now I got to get her running so I can take kids on it. Well enough of a that. I have a old 1983 cuddy cabin with a Mercruiser 470. When I first got it boat would turn and stay on but after running it for about 15min it stalled and did turn on again. Had to get towed in that day. I also turn boat on a few times on water and it stayed on for about 10 minutes and did want to start again. So I tried rebuilding carb and fuel pump, well failed fuel pump cause it wasn't pumping so I decided to get an electric pump. I got a carter, which I installed with a relay and a oil pressure switch. Now the pump just over flows the carb with gas and drowns it. I can't figure what to do now. How can I control the flow to carburetor? Did I do something wrong. Do I need another part? Maybe something with carburetor? Please help. Thank you guys.
