Re: Dallas Area Mercruiser Mechanic
Guys, I appreciate all the information and the offers to help.
I'm going to make a few phone calls to the guys who offered to help and have made an appointment at Xtreme Marine for Aug. 1. If it doesn't work out, I now have a No. 2 at Lake Texoma (90 minutes away) and a No. 3 in Austin (4 hours away).
Thank you all very much for the help.

Re: Dallas Area Mercruiser Mechanic
I wanted to let you all know that after many months of trying to get the boat fixed at a local shop the boys at Xtreme Marine in Lake Lewisville came through. It was not a fuel problem at all. The mechanics ran the boat with the computer on the engine and determined that the engine was actually shutting down over waves and in turns. They had it trouble shot in a very short time and did not waste my money on uneeded repairs.
They traced a bad battery connection to a shorted wiring harness on the Starboard engine. They replaced the harness, fixed all of the terminals and the boat is fixed. .
After 3 months it has been an expensive lesson learned. Take it to an expert!! Thanks to all of those that chimed in, this board is awesome.
