Here's what's going on bought this boat last november haven't had it in the water until this weekend and willa problems, i start and run the engine every week for about 10 to 15 minutes with the ears, starts fine runs fine, in the water under load it ran fine until i powered up to plane never made it started loosing power bogging until it went dead would not start, got towed in, the next day i go and the thing starts right up first try, ran for about 40 seconds then it died. so i first checked for water in the fuel.. no water. i then started it again when it died i check the bowls on the carb, they were empty plunged them full started the motor died out again check the bowls empty i disconnect the outlet fuel line cranked the motor got a couple sperts of fuel then seem to lose flow. am i looking at a bad fuel pump?? checked the venting on the tank and the fuel lines for leaks any thing else i should look at before i pull the pump Thanks to all in advance
