Recently I posted a request for help in solving a fuel flow restirction problem I was having when I "SWITCHED" from one tank to my second tank. When I switched to the full tank it would run for about 20-30 seconds and then my warning horn would sound indicating a fuel restriction problem.
Anyone want to guess what my problem was??? Big clue "SWITHCHED" ........... Anybody have a guess???
If you guessed that I was turning off the fuel rather than switching to the full tank you are correct. I have had this boat for 6 years and have switched tanks no telling how many times.
Thanks for all the help everyone offered, nothing wrong with boat, fuel, tanks or switches.... just with the guy at the controls.

I know how you feel... I do stuff like this all the time. I once posted a problem about having my trim stuck with the motor cycling down... come to find out about a week later and a ton of stress... I had the switch on the front of the boat pushed down. DUHHH  I think it's best if we never fish together... Unless accompanied by a responsible adult...lol
