Boat Repair

The boat choked and died, I had to call a friend to give me a tow.  The fuel filter was filthy, but would Yamaha dealer didn't stock this little part.  We back flushed it and then replaced the water separator.   They only sold the whole unit a $59 plastic bowl which was sold separately had to be bought with the separator.   $129 later I was out the door we installed it and the engine fired up.   I was within 10 feet of the gas dock when I ran out of gas.  I fueled up but she wouldn't start so I retained a water taxi to tow me. Damn.   After about 5 minutes of being towed I got her to start and then she ran fine.   I asked the guy to follow me, just in case.   No further problems.   Now to fix the  bilge pump again.
