A1 fuel line below deck, you can use B1 fuel line above deck. the primer bulb will not stay firm under use, you have to pump it up(create pressure in teh line ) for it to be firm, once the engine draws fuel it will not be firm. Check your anti siphon valve in the fuel tank, Id bet its corroded al to crap and about to break off

Anti siphon valve is the fitting the fuel line is connected to? The little elbow coming out of the tank?

We are currently limping home at about 3.5 mph. The issue is now almost continuous. When we pump the bulb it stays flat for like a minute and takes forever to pump it hard. When we do, we run it up to about 4,000rpm and almost immediately it starts to shut down. It doesn’t shut off but the rpm’s drop to under 1,000 and we’re running home at less than 5mph. Should take us another hour or so to travel the 4 miles back to the dock.
HELP!!!!

On the bright side, I’m 100% sure it’s not the motor.
Another plus, my boy landed a real nice fluke and we came upon a bluefish blitz. Every cast brought another two pounder aboard using 3,000 class spinning gear.
So there’s that.
