"Last fall I bought a 1987 Win

"Last fall I bought a 1987 Winner bass boat with a 1987 175 HP Mariner motor. It ran fine for several months but during a rain storm it cut off. It would crank back but die when I tried to put it in gear. I pulled it out of the water and drained the gas tank thinking it had gotten water in the gas. When I put it back in the water last week , it ran fine for about an hour and then did it's thing again. I cut off an inch of fuel line on each end of the primer bulb but that did not solve the problem. Can you offer help/advice to solve this problem?
Thanks, Bill"
 
"pump fuel bulb, look down eac

"pump fuel bulb, look down each carb with engine off, if you see fuel running out of carb then the floats are stuck. compression and spark check on each cyl. A dirty carb or clogged main jet means no fuel to that cyl, and no oil. Best error on the good side and remove and clean the carbs."
