So my 96 5.7 Mercruiser try’s to stall when I throttle down to get it out the hole. Starts great, idles great, runs great once I get it through that rough spot on accelerating. It’s worse after sitting at low RPMs for awhile. So a long no wake zone if i tried to throttle down quickly it would fall on its face.

Ayuh,...... Welcome Aboard,...... Sounds like a carb problem,.....

Check the Contents of the fuel filter, for anything but clean fresh gasoline,.....

That engine should be running a 2 barrel Mercarb. Check the accelerator pump discharge. (I'll bet there isn't any)
