I've got a 2002 Rinker captiva 192. she is a 4.3L V6 Mercurizer with a 180 HP. I'm Now at a loss and about this boat. I have owned this one for 7 years now. she is 18 years old and I have giving her some TLC.
My problem is...... I can take off, when I first get her in the water, and plain out, Just fine and RUNS like she should.
. but if I stop, turn her off & get in the water, Then when I get back in SAY 20 minutes later.... she runs like she isn't getting enough gas, bogs down, no power, won't plain out.
I have done a Top end Total rebuild on her. trying to find the problem. I've Rebuilt the carburetor (Mine is a 2-barrel carburetor).
Replaced the following
Spark plugs-
Wires-
ignition module-
Ignition coil-
Rotor-
distributor cap-
Put on a stainless steel spark Breather-
electric choke-
I have even changed out the ECU on this boat.
the fuel system is clean, I checked it and the filter when I rebuilt the carburetor.
Where do I look next to get this fixed? Throttle cable?-Fuel pump?- I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I know this can be a process of elimination to fix this issue. but I have already done all the, what I think it could be as an obvious fixes.
she should start and run, plain out every time I hit the gas and she doesn't. on a added note I change out the water impeller every other year, so I don't think that is my issue. I get good water flow when I have it hooked up to rabbit ears.

That way you can verify if its a fuel issue caused by the tank. Things like blockage in fuel pick up tube, blockage in vent system.
You said you had a carb so im assuming you have a mechanical fuel pump? You could put clear hose from the pump to the carb(yellow tygon) to look for air bubbles. Just do this for testing purposes. Instsll the metal tube back when finished.
All it takes is dip in the vent hose to vapor lock...or bugs nest or even obstruction getting into your tank to cause a vent or pick up tube issue.
One poster on here found i think a plastic bag clogging his vent tube.
Dalek. I will check that!!. Thank you all for your help.
