"[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Boat starts fine and revs high but quickly dies like it's running out of gas."
[/FONT]The fuel pump isn't keeping pressure up and the reason seems to be that when you are starting the motor there's power to the fuel pump, as soon as you let off the starter the fuel pump only gets power for a second or so. That's why it starts then runs out of gas. Checked the purple/yellow wire coming out of the oil pressure switch, same there.
Pulled the starter thinking the built in solenoid is not working properly.
Any suggestions before I spend $150? Could it be the starter slave solenoid?
