If you're losing prime on the bulb, it's not a gas quality issue. Did the dealer water test before giving the boat back to you? If so, and you're running a different tank and hose, that could pinpoint the issue.

The absolute best and easiest test to rule out a connector/hose/primer bulb/vent problem is to temporarly use a small portable tank with fresh gas. That will tell you on which side the problem is (engine or fuel lines/tank). Then you'll start form there. It's 10 times better than throwing parts randomly.
