So, on Sunday the boat developed a new problem. We were driving out at about 25 to 30 mph and out of nowhere, the engine coughs and loses all power. Then it would sputter and run rough with any load on it, especially over 2000 rpm's. The symptoms seemed to decrease as time went by, and after a bit, the boat would run fairly normal.
Tuesday it did the same thing. Sputtering intermittently and after a while run okay.
Last night I emptied the fuel filter, added heet to the gas tank, and replaced the spark plugs. Today it ran well mostly, but had one big sputter with significant loss of power. Then, after a bit, the boat ran like normal. There was one or two little ones later, but nothing as extreme as Sunday or Tuesday.
I researched a little and one possibility seems to be water in the tank.
Has anyone ever had symptoms like this? I have a 92 sunsport with the pcm351 and the pro tec ignition system with the coil packs. And a holley 4 barrel.
