I think you could certainly argue it is not of satisfactory quality given it has broken down 2/3 trips and you need near perfect reliability from an O/B. Don’t be fobbed off with they will ask them manufacturer the vendor is legally responsible. Ordinarily with something like an O/B I’d be inclined to give them a final chance to fix it - but there is no need to do so. Where it could get difficult is if they can’t repeat the fault.
I'm 2 years in with a fault that can't be repeated in the test tank soon as I take out at sea it plays up bloody annoying
Just a thought, is the engine oil level correct? if overfilled, the created oil mist after running a while can end up in the carb through the engine breather hose and could interfere with the fuel mixture and cause stalling problems. It may not happen whilst in the tank as the engine does not get as hot as when running around on the water.
The ideal oil level should be just under the full mark on the dipstick.
