    Problems with new 09 Z1-loss of engine power

    I am purely posting this to help other people if they have a similar problem. Maybe suggestion to dealer if they find nothing wrong.

    I was out 2 weekends ago and during our second set after a few hours of running, I was driving and stereo cut out and loss of engine power, brought it to netural and idling fine. I thought it was just something, funny went again, did the same thing. Ok, now I am done, headed to dock, did it again right in front of dock before I shut it down and it backfired. No alarms, buzzers, anything else. Ran fine at idle and stereo worked fine. It had a little less then half tank of gas in it.

    Took it to dealer, they jumped right on it. They said the pick-up tube in the gas tank turned up and was coming out of the gas and it was sucking air, then when I bring the boat down to netural and boat settles, it gets fuel again. They replaced flexible pick-up tube with a stiff tube. They said this is rare and only happened to 3 other boats, in past yearsor maybe 2 and I was 3rd but you get the idea.

    I hope I can help someone else along the line.

    Out last weekend, ran all day and all is good again.
