I was laying some crab traps and the main engine stalled out while at idle and started an intermittent beep and run rough. I checked the compressor and all seems good. I can start the motor but have to increase the idle to keep it from stalling. I narrowed it down to either a direct injector short, fuel pump blockage or coil short.
I had just installed the kicker and didn't have it ready to go and ended up bashing into some rocks. Luckily I got it restarted and recovered and little cracks to the gel coat on the hull edge. Looks like ill be using some gelcoat repair with hardener and bottom paint.
I am going to open the vst and look for any crud or possibly a seal that has cracked on the pump outlet. I also found the smartcraft 10 pin harness tucked under the block and will hook up vesselview to verify the code.
I fuel pump fuse is blowing which is shared ecm driver, oil pump and fuel pump circuit.
Im thinking its fuel related possibly from ethanol or who knows? I pulled all my fuel injectors and they are clean and I back flowed them with carb cleaner. Next is to test the direct injectors for shorts.
20 year old fuel pump. So maybe that's the problem.
