2018 P2 Engine shutting down

Hello fellow BCB owners! I bought my P2 in June 2018, about 2 months ago when punched it to go on plane it kind of choked. Meaning, sounded like fuel didn't flow and a couple of more attempts to put it on plane, the engine shut off. It took me a while for it to come on again. I went to the bulb in the back and squeezed it a few times and it turned on again. It worked fine after that so I kind of blew it off thinking it must have been some "bad fuel". Now the same thing is happening a more often. Two days ago while fishing a very windy Choke Canyon happened 3 times. One time the engine shut off while idling. I'm running a 200 Mercury XS 2018. Do you guys have any suggestions on what can it be? I think since it's a relatively new boat, I should have no issues. I keep thinking this may happen in Falcon lake and getting blown to the Mexico side would not be fun.
