I have a 115 Evinrude (1996 I Believe), and when I put the boat in today, the motor had some troubles. When I'd start to plane out, the boat would start lurching and the RPM's would rise and fall from about 3,200 to 2,000 before the boat slowed down and quit. After that happened, the bulb would be a little flat and I'd need to pump it before starting out again. What would be the problem here??? It's a great day out and I can't believe I'm stuck inside. Thanks for any help!

Did you remove and drain the gas tank or at least siphon gas out of the lowest point and inspect. Do that by extending the tongue jack to its highest point and shake the boat to get the sand to travel to the lowest point.

Go to your Evinrude dealer and get a filter. Personally I wouldn't feel good about running the engine knowing there could be sand in the tank.
