Running out of fuel is one of the most common reasons for an engine to stop, be sure to keep a close eye on how much fuel you have and a clear idea of how much fuel your boat uses under different weather, current and load conditions.

Checking the fuel on the water

Running out of fuel is the next thing I check once the kill switch is in, because the motor will crank but not start. With a portable tank, just feeling its weight tells you roughly how much is left, and on the Green Machine it was lower than I thought.
