I have an 87 Mercruiser 260 she runs fine when sitting on land running off the hose. As soon as I get her in the water the gets rough and will sputter and shut down. I have put new fuel treated with Seafoam in the tank, replaced the water separator fuel filter. I'm picking up the new fuel pump on my way home tonight. I removed the exhaust risers and manifolds yesterday and cleaned them up ( the risers had a lot of Gunk) to reinstall after the new fuel pump.
Does anyone have ideas what might be causing the problem? I'm running out of ideas! It just throws me that it only happens when in the water.
Thanks!
