I had a fuel filter pack up on me, which knocked one engine out. I thought I had a spare, but didn't. Turns out replacements are extremely hard to find. The same trip I had a fuel pump die on me. Down one engine.

I had lots of problems with my shift/throttle cables not wanting to stay properly adjusted for any amount of time, causing either/both engines to stall out at inopportune times.
Dave, please don't take offense, but I'm not sure I'll invite you out for a trip on my boat. Your luck may rub off.
