So i have a 2001 Mercury 200hp efi. It is not an opti. When I first bought the boat it rand great but would only draw the tank to half before it died like it had no fuel. I teflon taped all the fittings made sure everything is tight. I have been having a problem where it's like someone pulled the killswitch while getting on plane or while running.down the lake. I have replaced cdm boxes and had one shop replace the high pressure fuel pump. Nothing has fixed the problem.

Took it to the lake with an auxiliary fuel tank. No change. Thought maybe the mechanical fuel pump may be going out pumped bulb while running. It kinda helps but doesnt make an extreme difference, but I noticed it runs worse when not pumping it afterwards.
