Engine acts like it is flooded
I had a weird thing happen with my boat yesterday for the second time in as many trips.
When I first get to the water, it starts up just fine. Additionally, it usually starts up right away with one exception. Any time I run it, it needs about 20-30 minutes off before it will start again. The first time, I thought that it might be a fuel or kill switch issue, but the filter looks fine as does everything associated to the kill switch. Yesterday I had to make a quick run back to the dock to grab my sunscreen from the car. When I got back, the boat just wouldn't start. I messed around with it for a few minutes and then decided to just use the TM since it was a small lake. I trolled for about 30 minutes and then decided to try the main. It turned over immediately. I have no idea what to even look for that would cause this.

Sounds a little like it might be vapor locking, try removing the gas cap next time it does it. Just a guess.

have u changed the plugs lately, cause i used to have the same problem on my old boat, it would start sometimes and sometimes not. but if u have just 1 bad plug and it don't fire right a way then the rest get wet and need to dry off like flooding, but after u get it fired up it runs ok, i would check ur plugs
