Hi Team,

First time this has happened to me, so I'm a bit nervous. Was running across the lake WOT and suddenly the engine cut out. Pumped the fuel line pump and it pumped really easily. No problems on the way back to the dock ~1/2 mile. Another observation I've had is that it typically runs 44mph, but this summer has been in the 41-42 range.

Millions of questions running through my head, so hoping you guys might be able to answer some of them:

Hand pump on fuel line - how stiff should this be? Seemed a lot easier to pump than it normally is. Back to normal stiffness now. It often sits almost horizontal which I've heard is bad (Due to placement in crestliner fish hawk)

Stabilizing gas - I start doing this very heavily in the september (1.5 to 2x strength). Doesn't run until late-April and often I don't burn all of it up until mid-July (though I do add fresh gas during the summer months to dilute the old stuff. Do you anticipate any problems here?

Any other thoughts? 
Thanks!
