[QUOTE="FishingCop, post: 194640, member: 133"] They found the problem. They left the boat outside and had a big rainstorm. They had the live well plug and the bilge plug both plugged into the two drain holes in the transom (the holes for letting water out if you back up and get water inside). The upper part of the transom has a 2" well where the hydrolic and gas lines are and the gas cap is in there too - so, the rain filled the well and apparently went down the gas vent and got into the gas tank. See the picture - you can see the two drain holes in the two corners of the well - actually, both holes have the plugs in them in this picture. They drained the water/gas mixture and put in fresh gas. Problem solved. Ha, I always stored the plug in the same two drain holes and I showed that to the new owner when they bought the boat but I always had the boat in the garage, never left out in the rain. Thanks again for all your suggestions. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF3033.JPG"]22375._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
