Ok so I have found some posts on here that explain exactly what I am experiencing under low rpm my boat runs fine but when I get above 3300 Rome it seems like the boat is running out of fuel. One post on here said that he cleaned the anti siphon valve can any one post a pic of what they look like or maybe tell me where it might be located. I have a 1980 3.7 mercruser any more suggestions would be great

Re: fuel issue

The anti siphon valve is the first thing screwed in to your fuel tank, (well maybe after an elbow) the hose fitting is screwed in to that.
Also be sure to check your vent for restriction.
The above is moot if you have a dirty fuel filer or weak fuel pump or clogged carb inlet.
