Good Morning All,
I have a 2002 2800 hydra sports boat with twin 2018 DF250 engines. The boat seems to run great until I stop somewhere for a while and start back up. It will usually run for 3-5 minutes and then die. I get 3 beeps when it shuts down. I took it to my local Suzuki dealer for repair. They called me and told I had a bad fuel pump and oxygen sensor and the fuel injectors needed to be cleaned out. Only part of the work was covered under the extended warranty.
I picked the boat up and took it out the same day (this past Friday). Boat did the exact same thing. Ran great for about 12 miles. Stopped for lunch. Got back in the boat and fired it up and started idling out. Within a few minutes the starboard engine dies. I got back home on the port motor which has no issues. I did try to restart the starboard motor a couple of times on the way in but it would just fire up and die within probably 30 seconds.
Yesterday a buddy of mine came out with me and the exact same thing happened. ran the boat out. Stopped for lunch and engine dies as we are leaving. We pulled over to a safe spot pulled the cowling off. Had no idea what the hell we were looking at and put the cowling back on. This time the motor does restart and runs the rest of the day ok. Stopped and started maybe a half a dozen times no issues. When the motor runs it runs great. When the 2 engines are idling the starboard motor maybe shakes a little more than the port but this might just be in my head.
The boat stays in a in and out storage and is quite a chore to get back and forth to the dealer. Plus I think the completely misdiagnosed it the first time. I am guessing maybe a bad primer bulb or something like that. I have found a few people with the same issue on these boats but none have ever been resolved with a clear solution. I appreciate any help.
