    2007 searay 240 sundeck with a 5.0L Mercruiser

    not really, you have to remove the seats to get access to the engine mounts and the fuel system anyway to pull the motor. I was there when they swapped the motor on my bud's 240 sundeck when his 6.2 needed replacing because his dry-joint manifold failed on the starboard side while they have...

    Vapor lock

    doubt you have vapor lock. the fuel pump on the MPI engine is not concerned about fuel pump temps and will push fuel thru regardless. check your fuel pressure.
