We were on the water in our 2022 L22 with a 200 Yamaha, and things were running great with 30% fuel showing on the Simrad when the engine sputtered and quit. The engine wouldn’t turn over and we had to be towed in. It was as if we ran out of gas, but we weren’t. Back at the dock, I added 5 gallons of gas, but the engine still wouldn’t crank. Pumped the primer bulb to death but it never got firm. Makes a sound as if air is in the line. Clearly, gas isn’t in the line. Is this a DIY fix? Any thoughts or ideas? All would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

Fuel Line Issue??
- Thread starter russc3

Others on this site have more expertise, than me but if it will not crank / turnover, I would start with electrical.
I had an issue once, and just cleaning the battery terminals with baking soda fixed the problem and they didn’t look that bad.
I would also check all the fuse / breakers including those under the engine cover. Start with the easy stuff first. Are the batteries good? Could we have a charging issue and the batteries went dead? Any loose wires, etc.?
I would move to fuel only after making sure the engine is turning over and I had spark activity.

Good insights. I’ve tried all of the fuses and such. Batteries are good. The boat was running fine and just quit running mid-cruise. It’s as if it ran out of gas, but gas is in the tank. The fuel line is empty. Wondering how to check for a clogged line or issue with the sending unit or filter. Hoping someone here has an idea! Thanks!
