Took my grady out for the first time this year. The motor started up with no problem ran strong. I killed the motor and we drift fished for awhile, we did this a few times with no motor issues.When we decided to pack it in the motor would not start it turned over but wouldnt start. BtW i just put 50 gallons of fresh fuel in the tank.Im thinking perhaps i have water in the fuel. Been thinking about pumping the fuel out with a hand pump but recyling it back into the tank while emptying out the racor filter. Any thoughts suggestions?I plan on doing this only if i can start it with a portable tank with fresh gas.

Any chance it was flooded? I did this once when I inadvertantly kept choking it (2S) when starting after a drift. Did it start eventually?
