09 22ve. When boat sits for a couple of weeks, I have to cycle the fuel pump 10-15 times before it will start. If I just go a couple of days without cranking it, it will fire right up.
10-15 times is excessive. You should cycle it until you hear the tone of the fuel pump change, that then means there's fuel pushing through the pump. It's also temperature cycle related and it just means the fuel is returning through the regulator and you'll probably need a high pressure pump soon and/or a new regulator soon.
Fixing everyone elses boat just so I can use mine...

The fuel pump sounded like it was running for approximately 4 seconds and would stop. Im guessing that over time I am loosing pressure in the fuel line.
