The sea trials continue!!! We purchased our '05 21v over the winter and have been fixing little bugs ever since. This time, we were left stranded with no boats in sight. My wife pulled me first and the boat ran fine, but when I go to pull her the boat dies every time I put it in gear. I try twice and then decided to let it sit for a while. After about 5 min. I try again. It fires but quickly dies. We flag down the only person in the cove which is a Sea Doo! He is very eager to see if his brand new Sea Doo will pull us back. After a hour and a half tow back to the marina, we get a wild hair and decide to try one more time. Boat fires right up!!!! Get home and pull the fuel filter and can hardly blow air though it (gotta love the taste of gas). Replace the filter and head back to the lake and ride the rest of the evening with no problems. I hope the problem was just the filter. How often should you change the fuel filter? Our previous boat was a '99 MB B52 and it had been in the family since it was new and we never replaced the fuel filter, but it was alot different and alot bigger. Should this be changed at the same time the oil is changed? I think that is what I am going to do anyways because I don't like to be stranded on the water!!!!
