      It was definitely a strange situation.  The complaint was that the boat would start and run fine when launched, but after 45 minutes the engine would stall, then crank-no-start, and they got towed in.  The next day their boat would start and run again for 45 minutes, until the same problem occurred.  I ran it on a flush hose, and sure enough, the engine stalled and would not restart after 45 minutes.  The fuel supply hose from the fuel tank looked like it was completely clogged with rubber debris.  The hose was replaced, but the old hose was still on my workbench the next morning.  The inside of the old hose looked to be in perfect condition again after 24 hours.  Very weird.

      Wow csleaver ! 

      This is what I love about this forum, being able to learn about stuff like 45 min expanding fuel lines, temperamental ICMs, and fuel hammer.  @csleaver how often should fuel lines be replaced?

    • Wedge setting?
       

      However my guess is you have too much rear weight. I’d experiment with all the lead in the bow and those 790’s only 1/2 to 3/4’s full. Most of the new style hulls only need 550’s in the back. 

    • It's still all just verifying the basic things that the engine needs to start and run.  Proper cylinder compression, correct fuel pressure and mixture, ignition spark at the right time.  Most running issues are caused by a problem with at least one of those things.
