Just over the last couple of weeks I have taken the boat out either to pull the kids sking or Trolling. After about 2 hours of running and then taking a break for 1 hour I went back to start the boat and it started fine but when I went to put it in gear it bogged down and stalls. This has happened 3 times over the past 2 weeks. It will run ok but after working it for a while and then letting it sit it will stall when put into gear. I have changed the plugs and also the fuel filter. Any ideas THANKS in advanced.

Gently seat all three carb mix screws and back them out three turns.Insure that the carb link roller is aligned on center and just touching the fiber cam scribe line when controls are in neutral.If this doesn't help,Your idle needle seats and or idle proting may be restricted with gummy deposits.
