Popping in 2006 Bayliner

[Philom]

I have a 2006 Bayliner with 4.3L fuel injected engine. Just purchased it this year and ran it about 6 or so time with no concerns. On last outing I added 25 L of fuel on top of about 50 L of fuel. After letting the boat warm up and driving at low speed for a while I opened it up and the engine "popped" a few times than I backed off on the throttle. When I would hit it wide open it would pop a few times, kind of sounding like something smacking on the bottom of the boat. I also noticed once that it kind of hesitated when I punched it. Not sure if I had some bad fuel or what was causing it but it quit after a bit. Than at the end of the day when we were heading to load up I punched it wide open and my buzzer would beep, I let off and it was OK but when I punched it, it would beep. Not sure what was going on. Ideas?

Did you notice the RPM's or the OIL GAUGE?? Did it change or jump around any??

check the fuel water separator first, pour contents into an empty glass jar and look for contaminants - mainly water - but other thngs as well

as far as the warning horn, could be a number of things, next time it goes off - check guages and look for anything abnormal

the best way to find out warning horns is to connect CDS to diagnostics port and read fault codes

I checked the guages and all was normal. The RPM's weren't jumping around either. Where is the water seperator located? I ordered a service manual but it isn't here yet.

Ayuh,... It's between the fuel tank, 'n the fuel pump, on the fuel line...
