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.

What phat and spare and steplift says. By removing or breaking the seal on the cap it will proved air to flow in, if it does than I would check out the vent. Could be crimped,kinked or blocked. If it make no change than I would look in the fuel tank for blockage. You can use a portable tank and see if that fixes the problem , if it does than its in the tank or hose going into the tank ,if it stays the same I would change the bulb and the lines if it's not hard. But I would wait for spareparts or phat says. I hope they would agree eight me if not than I will listen to them. We want to get you home safe and have a happy boat,

I tried to run it with the gas cap off and it made no difference. I’m still going to address the vent because It’s 30 years old and for the few bucks, it’s another thing that could crap everything up.
You guys figure the fuel line to be 3/8” or 5/16”? I cut an inch off when we first pumped the tank but I can’t find any writing on it.

As far as changing out the fuel line if it’s not hard… IT’S HARD!!!! But if I don’t, my season’s over. I’m not ready to pull her out for the season. I missed a lot of fishing being without a boat for close to 10 years.
