So it was pointed out to me that I should change my fuel filters more often as I was having stalling problems portside Lehman 80 - the starboard seemed to be ok but I changed 4 filters on each engine as the engines were due for regular maintenance anyway. portside seems to be ok now but starboard stalls now. The worst part of this is the stalls happen just after I have pulled back on the throttles to approach the dock. (performance was great at cruising speed for hours...) I can start the engine again right away so no vapor lock I think but anyone with twins will know that when you lose an engine the steering goes to hell NOW !...not good when you are trying to bring in a 13 ton boat...any ideas ?
