My 08 challenger decide to stall out today coming into the lift. I tried to start it back up with no luck. Once I got it on the lift I removed the dess and reattached it, boat fired up and ran for about me 10 seconds and stalled again. It ran smooth while out and about. I replaced the plugs, coils, exhaust sensor, fresh fuel, supercharger is good. What else am I missing?

Could be fuel pump. Can you hear it cycle on on when you start it? It will be very quiet, like a bilge pump. Probably the issue if no alarms and is turning over and have address everything else.

Does it just cut out or does it sputter and die? Is it possible the safety lanyard is warn down not holding the plunger up high enough? Try holding or shimming it up higher. It may also be defective.

I haven’t done anything with the fuel pump, I will look into that. Boat just dies, no sputtering. Plunger is original and lanyard is tired. I will order a new one of them as well
