Fuel pump won't stop when lanyard on.

2007 Speedster 150 (215SC)
My cousin drove my boat for an hour then onto
the trailer at the ramp. Everything was normal.

At home with the boat on a slightly unlevel driveway (bow up) I went to flush the engine
and heard the normal beeps when the lanyard was on. Turned on the engine then walked
over to turn on the water and the engine just stopped. I noticed the blinking gas indicator on the dash then looked at the fuel level thru the tank while rocking the boat and it was empty. Tried to restart but won’t crank over. Reset the lanyard and now no beeps at all.

He said no problems or warnings when he was out there.

Put gas in but was worried now about EFI engines being run dry.
Now with the lanyard on, the fuel pump is cycling every 1 second with it’s motor sound and then a click over and over and over no stopping. I remember normally it’s the motor sound for a second and shuts off then you get the beeps in order to start.
Removed the hose clamp for the fuel line that feeds the plastic tube on top of
the engine that divides fuel into 3 directions. It has fuel there.
Was thinking maybe no beeps meant the line wasn’t primed.

Any answers to why the fuel pump is running over and over and not allowing the
beeps? Sensors, filters, faulty pump, air lock in lines somewhere? Guess I could take
the fuel line off again and see if the pump gushes fuel out.

Pump will run with lanyard on even in forward or rev.
I know we all put the shifter in neutral to go thru this sequence upon startup,
so I can’t confirm if this is even normal.

If anyone has run out of fuel before did you have problems restarting after refueling?

Any help here would be appreciated guys. Got to get her started to flush out the
salt water… thanks

UPDATE….

Disconnected the fuel line on top of the engine again and put the hose in a jug to catch fuel.

Now all is normal when attaching lanyard… fuel pump sent fuel to the jug for a second and shut off, then got 2 beeps then the 4 normal beeps, hit the starter briefly and it cranked.

Put the hose back on the engine and I get the same constantly running fuel pump and no beeps and no start…. What the heck?

Where was the catch can in relation to the where the fuel line connects to motor? Make sure they're at the same height to confirm that the pumps work properly. You may be having a priming issue for some reason. If the the catch can is located lower or higher, you're not replicating the fuel line routing properly to rule out certain items.

I'll try the catch can at same level tomorrow morning. Thanks.
But when I disconnect the fuel line up on the rail feeding the EFI's the fuel gushes out. Wouldn't that mean it's got the output?

Called a SeaDoo dealer and the tech gave me 2 other options to try. Said to disconnect battery and let the system reset and then maybe the fuel pressure regulator could be a problem. Forgot to ask where that is... anyone?

Keep the ideas coming guys.

One thing that concerns me is when the pump constantly runs and if the fuel is up to the top of the engine is that fuel shooting thru the injectors into the cylinders or does the engine have to be on sending voltages to the injectors to open?

Fuel should not be shooting through injectors when engine is not running. You could try to pull the fuel rail to see what's going on with the injectors (if anything)when you put power to the boat.

It wouldn't hurt to disconnect the battery to try to reset the system.
