Introduction
If your 2000 Bayliner Trophy sport fishing boat is turning off when arriving to a shore or not turning on as it should, use this guide to help you repair the suction fuel system and replace the fuel filter.
When the rubber of the Racor (the fuel filter that filters gas from the tank to the motor) that seals the bottom and top parts of the piece that separates the gas and the water wears, you should replace it. The water going to the bottom half and the gas is pumped into the motor by the air pear. When the rubber holding together everything gets full of rust it won't let gas get into where it’s supposed to go. Instead of dividing water to the bottom and the air pear pumping the gas at the top into the motor, it will pump air and not a drop of gas into the motor of the boat. So, for the motor to turn on and operate as it should, the Racor has to be completely replaced.
Before using this guide, make sure that you verify that the fuel filter is not operating correctly and that you have its replacement before starting the process.
