This is where a vacuum gauge would be helpful.

We are off on a two week cruise.  Second day running the engine starts to
falter, then stall. I check the Racor, no water.  I did replace the fuel
pump last year after we ran out of fuel w the fuel tank half full.  But it
seemed to be fine. 

 

She started and we stopped in a Edmonds to top off the tank, but it only
took 7 g.

 

She then ran pretty solid for the next 2 hours with only a few issues.

 

I have  not changed the fuel filters for about 150 hours over two years.

 

I am thinking that either the filters need replacing or the fuel pump just
does not lift the fuel enough.

 

Any help is appreciated.
