Steve: The cheapest approach without throwing parts at it is to swap the carbs between engines and see if the problem follows the carb. If not it is ignition.

Re: Gas Grill on Boat

I have one and the main precaution I take is to only cook on the port side away from the fuel vent. I have the rodholder mount. Keep a pair of welding gloves handy, and if it ever has a malfunction just pitch it overboard.
