Change the filters as numero uno step.  Engine hours doesnt correlate to filter health.  I replace annually to just avoid them being the problem child.

Blow out the line to make sure.  

Also, any chance that you have air getting into the line?  Check your points of access, Racor, filter housings, hose connections etc?..

Worth going over.

Definitely sounds like a fuel delivery problem. One way to validate would be to see if it runs ok at reduced rpm.  Has the boat been idle for awhile?

Tom, could be crud in the tank blocking the pick up line to the filter.

Should be rubber line from tank to filter. 

Disconnect line at filter and blow into it. Yumm!

?We are off on a two week cruise.  Second day running the engine starts to falter, then stall. I check the Racor, no water.  I did replace the fuel pump last year after we ran out of fuel w the fuel tank half full.  But it seemed to be fine.

She started and we stopped in a Edmonds to top off the tank, but it only took 7 g.

She then ran pretty solid for the next 2 hours with only a few issues.

I have  not changed the fuel filters for about 150 hours over two years.

I am thinking that either the filters need replacing or the fuel pump just does not lift the fuel enough.

Any help is appreciated.
