  • Bogging '07 40HP ELPTEFI

    Bought '08 BW Sport 13' used 2 years ago, paired with '07 40ELPTEFI since new. OB had about 200hrs. Right away experienced issue where OB bogs while underway. In 4 hours on the water (trolling), the OB will bog 2-3x. ALWAYS, shutting down the OB and restarting returns it to 'normal' function. *knock on wood* It's always started right back up. OB has ~350 hrs now.

    Originally thought issue due to poor ventilation on gas tank. Nope.

    Fuel lines, fittings, bulb replaced, annual maintenance performed in Mar. '13 -- impeller, plugs, fluids, filters...issue remains.

    It was suggest that the 'mesh screen' at the bottom of the 'vapor separator tank' may be the culprit.

    Greatly appreciate advice and input on this issue. Thank you in advance!

    Need to test fuel pressure, but probably need to remove and clean VS tank and filter.
