Today I took the boat with a friend and headed to Vaxholm for some lunchin’. The trip was all good until we run out of fuel just outside Stockholm, due to a faulty fuelgauge that incorrectly showed a well filled tank of gas. So we refueled at the nearest gas station and continued the journey, soon after that the engine started to behave abit strange, at high revs it would begin to throttle down by itself, and a few times even die on us. We think that during refueling some junk in the tank got sucked into the fuelfilter and preventing the engine to get enough fuel. We were unsuccessful to take the filter apart and take a look though, the filter was screwed into place like a son of a b*tch. We made it back to port at slow speed though. And oh… I’m pretty red from sunburns too.
