2007 Nitro 288 with Merc 150 EFI. This happens every time I take my boat out:
Put the boat in the water. Fire up the engine. Runs about a minute dies. Fires right back up again. runs about 2 minutes dies. Fires right back up, runs the rest of the day with no problems. (occasionally if I am sitting in Neutral for a few minutes it will die)
I am not super worried because after I do this little dance when I first put it in the lake it runs fine the rest of the day. But what could be going on here?
As a side note (this really confuses me) if I hook it up with the garden hose it doesn't do any of this.
