Replace them . — Cheap insurance to avoid a possible problem . — You dont want to run it lean , especially if its a 2 stroke . — Hoss

I have a question regarding these fuel lines. Today, running my boat (96 P2 with a 2.5 Merc) the boat got on plane fine, then after about 3 mins, the motor totally shut down. It immediately restarted, but did the same thing after 4 mins. Later on in the day, it ran fine on plane, no hole shot issues etc.. Then back to shutting completely off while on plane. Could this issue be tied to the grey and red merc fuel line?

Sonny G, that is exactly what mine did to me before I changed the fuel lines. Change em out. Its time anyway and its cheap insurance as BIG CATTER said.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

Man, the ethanol bug got me. But I as successful enough to catch it before it really costed me. Hell! It felt like somebody was holding my boat back. Got it all straight now I change out all fuel lines bulb with the up to date fuel system lines.

Ok Now I have a real issue and could use some help before I go to a dealer….. My 96 cat 200 Merc EFI, starts and idles no problem. It gets on plane no problem. After running a few minutes, it just shuts down. Almost like I pulled the kill switch. It starts right back up. I mean immediately. I have run it 4, 5 10 mins with no issue. But then it just shuts down. Is there a sensor or something causing this? If I can get some help, Id love it before I take it to the dealer. The fuel lines have been replaced. Last week, I noticed the vacuum line to the fuel pressure sensor had a crack in it, so I replaced that. Any Ideas? I would love the input

Engine lines from the valve are all you should or could have an issue with. The oat lines hav been ethanol resistant A1 or A2 for over 20 years.

If you have grey w/ orange writing – get it off of there. You want the grey w/ blue writing. My 08 Sabre had the bad lines and crumbled inside when I replaced them two years ago. Change the fuel filter while youre at it.
