I have a 210 Horizon with the 5.0 gxi engine. 2 weeks ago the engine ran fine. Today it wouldn't start. I have 40hrs on the motor, put starbrite enzyme in the gas for the winter along with a full tank. 2 weeks ago it started and ran fine. Today it sounded like it wanted to start but wouldn't. Checked the fuse for the fuel injection and it was fine. Is there a check list of other items I should check? Thanks!

Sounds like it could be your water separating fuel filter. I'd try replacing that first. It looks very similar to an oil filter and screws on the same way. Good luck!

You should definitely check this 1st. Also, purchase a spare filter or 2 and keep on board. They are very easy to replace!

The fuel rail has a bleeder chuck or screw. Loosen it and turn the key on to see if you have fuel pressure.
