Could some let us know what model years are prone to this problem?

Just to update everyone. I wrote a letter to FW. To the point and professional as suggested on an earlier post. Sent all our service tickets along with the letter. Got a letter back basically saying ....TOUGH SH*T. Got a boat for sale if anyone is interested. :wink:

the problem is, really a Volvo Penta of Americas problem, not so much a Four Winns problem.
Have you contacted V-P on your own about the difficulties you have had?
Before I sold the boat, (you will have to disclose this and that will affect value for sure) I'd try to find out who is the best independent techs like I said in an earlier post and see if they can substitute an aftermarket fuel pump to eliminate the problem you've had.

Lou is right.

I'm guessing at some point this will rise to the level of class action or recall of some kind. Which won't do much good for you between now and when/if that happens.

Caveat emptor doesn't really require a seller to say bupkis about condition. Karma might.
