when i leave my boat parked in the drive way with the bow level or slightly low, i cant get the engine started. if i leave it parked with the bow high or above level it will start fine. could my fuel pump be going out? anyone have any troubleshooting ideas? any help is appreciated!

Could the angle put the fuel pickup above the fuel level in the tank?

Could be fuel, could be oil? I'm not sure if there is a low oil/no start feature built in. Check the level anyway though.

Also, I had a close friend that bought a new boat a couple years back that would randomly shut down and sometimes not start. Turned out to be a shop rag left in the tank from the factory. It would plug the fuel pick up.

turned out it was just coincidence that it wouldn't start with the bow low. turned out i just needed new plugs and distributor cap.

Boat is at some crazy angle to the slip with the stern against the piling. See what you are going to do next? If with one engine in forward and one in reverse, you are going to pivot the boat around that piling just as nice as can be. Its going to go nice and slow and easy with no danger of loosing control and hitting anything. This is a far better method than attempting to back straight into a slip with a wind or tide running, where its like trying shoot a bullet at a moving target.
