With the new powerhead on now, almost to the 1 YEAR manufacture expiration date...I took the boat out and remembered one time 3weeks ago at the dock I primed the bulb then started the motor and put stuff into the boat, after less than 5min the motor shuts off. Restart and went on my day fine. This past weekend, took it out again, wife started motor up while I was in the truck and she said it shuts off after a couple minutes of running on neutral at the dock...then I tried to restart again, and motor fired up but shuts off again after 3 minutes more or less. I re-prime and start it up again, this time it didnt shut off. And I dont recall hearing any beep so far. I haven't had this issue before. Any advice or pointers?
Could it be:
fuel starvation?
clogged fuel rail?
clogged compressor water filter?
Thanks in advance!
