Volvo 5.7 GSi in a Four Winns 205 Year 2000

Hi guys, Just launched for the first time this year (Loch Lomond, Scotland) Went up on the plane ok for about a minute and then slowed right down with the engine then cutting out. Took us an hour to get a mile back to the dock with the engine starting and running for about 10 seconds before cutting out. When I got back I found the fuel pump making a high pitched screetching noise which stopped a couple of seconds after turning off the ignition. Fuel in the filter looked good with no signs of water. Any ideas please?
Owned the boat since new and this is the first engine problem.

Thanks in advance,

For anyone interested, after reading lots of posts on here, I replaced the whole fuel cell. After 3 hours use this seems to have sorted it.
