This past weekend after a heavy rain, I took my boat (2050 bayliner
capri,2000 mercruiser 5.0L 350 engine) from my dock to take it out of
the water. Unfortunately, I did not run my bilge pump nearly long
enough and wound up stalling out in the bay. After getting towed to
the put in and back to the house, I found water in the oil which I
promptly changed, and cranked the engine up. It cranked immediately
and ran for about 10 to 15 seconds, then died again. So I changed the
fuel filter (filled with gas first) and now I cant get fuel to the
carb. Have I lost my prime in the fuel pump, if so, how can I get it
primed back or is the pump gone or am I missing something?
