I had a similar problem with my Yamaha 70 on a cabin cruiser I owned in
Germany. It is very disconcerting to lose power on a swiftly flowing river
like the Donau (danube). The mechanic at the marina said it was water
combining with fuel additives that created the gel. Let me assure you, it is a
lot easier to dump, clean and refill an outboard tank than than two 70 liter
built in tanks.
