I have a 200 vmax on the back of my boat, I have 2 separate gas tanks a port side and starboard side gas tank, When I use the port side gas tank I will get out of the hole and soon as I get on plane the engine will bog down and not run, acting like its not getting gas, however when I use the starboard gas tank it runs fine. Is this because the fuel lines to the port side gas tank have cracks and air is getting in there? Or is there simply air in the gas tank? When i use the primer bulb to pressurize the port side gas tank I get no pressure but again when the fuel selector switch is to the starboard tank everything works fine. So if some you gurus could help me out that would be awesome!

probably have some varnish or junk in the port tank clogging the pickup allowing it to not pick up fuel?

Port side fuel line has a crack, a leak at a fuel line end connection or pickup tube is broke. Bulb will stay flat if you have restriction between tank and bulb.

Just last night I had the same problem with my boat. Thought I was gonna be spending the night on the lake! I just figured it was water in the tank. After 45 minutes of recranking it, it finally started running.
