Hi. I am a new member and a first time boat owner.
I bought a pontoon boat over the summer. It came with a 2011 Suzuki DF90a engine. We used the boat almost every day for a month with no issues.
We noticed we had water in our lower unit and after 6 weeks it took to get the parts and special tools we needed to replace the seals we took it out and had a nice day on the water.
The following weekend, we cranked the engine before we hooked up the truck and after idling for a minute or so, the revs dropped and then it died. It sounded like it ran out of gas. Now, when we turn the engine over, it hits on a cylinder or two and then just turns over until we stop cranking it.
Like I said earlier, I am a newb at boats and outboards as well as fuel injection.
What are some of the simple things I am probably overlooking. In my experience, most issues with cars and motorcycles wind up being simple things but it takes experience to know where to look.
Thanks in advance!
