If you love your boat, it might be worthwhile to fix it up, especially if you'd like to keep it for a while longer. Be sure to get solid estimates before you make your final decision, though. If the fixes cost too much, you may not like your boat as much as you thought you did.

Running out of fuel is the number one reason for boat breakdowns. Most likely, your problem is with the filter or plugs. This could explain why your boat's motor is not turning on. Fix: Replace your in-line fuel filter.
