Boat Problem need Help

[anmalone]

I have a 2000 22i. It have run great all summer long. Today I was pulling a wakeboarder and it lose engine power and back fired. It was almost like we ran out of gas. Does anyone have any suggestions about what the problem might be?

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter/water separator?

If it is water in the fuel, heat can help take care of this. By "heat" I mean the fuel tank additive

We filled up and it cranked fine but because of Hurricane Ike we did not have time to run it around the lake. Is it easy to change the fuel filter/water separator?
