Yes sir, there's a regulation that my memory isn't 100% clear on about having them bilge mounted on outboards. I can't remember if it was all spin on filters like that or only the ones with a clear sight glass on the bottom.

I’m curious to hear this regulation if anyone knows it. My filter is directly above my battery switch. In hindsight, probably the worst way to have it set up but I have minimal real estate to mount these things. I don’t have the clear inspection bowl on my filter

Clear inspection bowls are not approved for inboard applications.

Take II
Weather is a little better today and I decided I had a couple of hours to spare so let’s get it wet. Launch went well, started right up, purrs like a kitten, pisses like a racehorse. Most importantly it floats!
Backed out, spun around and headed towards the powder wharf which is only about 12-15 minutes away.
half way there the RPM’s dropped a bit and I thought maybe I accidentally backed off the throttle. Gave it a little more and it picked up again. Then it dropped RPM’s a little more. And I knew I didn’t back off on it so I slowed down and was idling when it shut itself off. Restarted it and it stalled again.
FML II
Kicker fired right up and I cruised back to the launch in about 25 minutes. Met a nice @Strait shooter there.
loaded up on the trailer and back to Forsch Marine. Chris is going to check it out next Friday. He thinks it’s possibly one of the fuel pumps in the main motor.
Here it is running literally seconds before it went downhill and a couple of dock shots.

Do you still feel bad about the price paid for your almost new beautiful machine?!
