I have a 2013 Honda 9.9 that is used as a trolling motor/backup for the main motor on my boat. The engine has about 150 hours. When I took the boat out the other day the motor started with some hesitation (it's always done that) and ran fine for about 10 minutes or so. The motor idled and both forward and reverse were no problem while it was running for those 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes it sputtered and died. It started back up a couple times but when trying to put it into gear it would die again. After starting it and it dying a couple times it wouldn't start again while I was on the water. It did start back up and idle fine when flushing it later. Fuel shouldn't be an issue as the tank is shared with the main engine which ran just fine and there are multiple filters in line between the engine and tank. It isn't a tiller outboard so all of the controls are remote in the cabin. Any help would be greatly appreciated, let me know what you think!
