[Public-list] Engine Problem

[SwiftLaw at aol.com]

I had a very similar experience. It was impossible to diagnose for  everyone. 
Here's what happened. Caveat - I still have the mechanical fuel  pump.
 
It seems that a pin hole leak had developed in the metal fuel collector. So  
When the boat listed or even tossed a bit, the fuel covering the pin hole leak 
 would move and an air bubble would make its way into the system. Resulting 
in a  cut out of the engine. Ten minutes later she would run again for a bit. 
 
the fix was a daub of solvent proof epoxy over the pin hole.
 
If your engine will run with the boat stable (i.e. Not under way in any  sort 
of a seaway.) Consider finding a source in the new system that allows air  
into the fuel line intermittently.
