We never took the VST apart. Explain this: After installing the LP pumps, we started the engine and it ran mush better than before. We then put the boat in the water, it ran great, then died once the VST tank was empty. Today we checked other possible sources for issues and came up with...

We're double checking everything, but i don't see how that would suddenly become a problem. Should the cup stay completely full at all times or is it normal for the fuel level to drop about an inch from the top while running?

The problem existed before the pumps were replaced.

One LP pump was bad and we replaced all 3. We can use the primer bulb to fill the the VST, but after the engine runs at low speed (<1k rpm) for 5 minutes the VST tank is empty and the engine dies. I also noticed that the fuel level in the clear filter housing drops about 1 inch from the top as...

The problem does not seem to have gone away entirely. After digging in the Yamaha manual we found a section that indicates something to the effect that if the wires coming from the alternator are wired in such a way with a dual battery set-up that voltage on one battery will be limited to...

I use a tri-ball with adjustable height, but I think it is only good for 10k. Unless you are built like a brick sh!t-house try to get one in aluminum. Mine is solid steel and weighs almost 50 lbs!

I have the same boat and engine , but a 99. I would agree that on paper, it looks under powered, but keep in mind that this is the same powerhead as the 250. This means that you give up some hp, but the torque is about the same. Torque gets the boat moving, but with less hp a little slower...

Self healing? Batteries were swapped around. The problem seems to have gone away. Our best guess is that something goofy was happening because of a bad contact somewhere. We'll keep an eye on it and report back any new developments. Thanks for the feedback!
