2000 Carver 404 - Gas Line-Engine Issue
I was cruising with my Carver 404 when I had a strong smell of gas thoughtout the boat. Also lost power in what I determined to be the starboard engine. Engine turns over but will not start now. Seems like a fuel line/system issues
Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
Thanks
Rich

I would ventilate and not use the boat until I find the source
Are you sure it wad a raw fuel smell or the smell of combustion?

Thanks for your thoughts, good advice (esp the smoking )
I talked with the service guy at the Marina where I have service done and he thinks it might be a spark plug issue or carburetor (although I though since mine has a fuel pump, it wouldn't have a carburetor, but this is beyond my knowledge base),
Going to have it towed over to the marina service garage, agree it is not worth the risk.
Thanks again and safe boating
