On the way in the motor bogged 3 more times, on the 3rd time it wouldn't start back up, had to call Boat US for a tow back in. On Saturday July 4, I was out at the Gravel Pit 5.5 miles out, and finished by 12:30, came in at 30 mph without an an issue, no bogging. missing or vibration, can anyone with past/similar experience offer any assistance?
I would have to think it is a fuel delivery problem. Not sure if you have a kicker tank or not, but I would have a stow away tank with the correct fuel line plug for your engine. If the problem happens again, you could switch tanks and see if the problem cures itself. It would be one way to narrow down the problem. You did say the fuel separator had a lot of debris in it. This would help determine if the problem is tank side or engine side.
