Had a strange thing happen last night.
Started the boat, like I have many times before, and often let it idle for a bit. This time went back into the house to help the Admiral get ready and that took an hour.... she couldn't decide what to wear.
When I got back to the boat, the engine had quit. I had all the electronics on, so I started the genny to add a little charge to the battery and a bit later started the engine. Ran fine. Nothing seemed wrong.
Ran it for a short run, about 15 min. Shut down for a few hours, started up again for another 15 min run and everything was fine.
Just wondering what caused it to quit.
Usually it's a fuel problem, but apparently not, as it ran fine again and the genny ran without a hitch. Spec of water? Don't know.
Thoughts?
