"I am having 2 issues with my newly purchased boat. Number 1 is that when I put the boat in the water and start it up, it idles great/sounds great. After running the boat for a while and coming back to the ramp, when idling the boat begins to sputter and then die. My guess is a low speed jet in the carb is clogged, but not sure. The boat has less than 75 hours on it. Has been sitting for the past 2 years and has 2 year old gas in it. Maybe just run this tank through with sea foam?
Number 2 is that my volt/battery meter is reading 18+ (all the way up). Is this normal? Shouldn't it be in the middle? It seems that the battery isn't charging while running either. Cables look a little corroded, so I am working on that, but could that be it or something else?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP!!!"
