Default Gas Issues

Came down with the boat to finally use it down here in my place in Islamorada
Went out yesterday to look for some lobsters
On the way out the engine boged downed and turned off
Checked the racor and took out the gas from the bottom bulb and was able to get it going for 1/2 the way back before it shut down again
Got a tow from some really nice people to my cousins house right next to the CG station.
I had run the battery low so I charged the battery overnight.

I took a 5gal tank of fresh gas with me this morning to see what was up
I took the filter off and it had all kinds of junk on the top and the gas was very cloudy and looked like it had water in it
Luckly I did not fill the tank full did 25 gals
Connected the 5gal tank and it fired right up and I got back to my marina

Looks like I need to pull the tank, clean it out, replace the gas and the racor and motor side filter

DAMM

And in this heat

Oh well it could be worse>>>>>>
