I've replaced hose and bulb,both fuel filters,plugs and fuel pump.I seems to be starving for fuel?This happens at full throttle,and some times when I'm trolling slow at 2 mph it will die,but it always starts right up again,and this is intermittant doesn't happen every time I take it out.Yesturday I went 2 miles outta my fishing spot an it did it and I noticed if I lift up on throttle it would go back up to normal rpm,on my back later it ran flawlessly

For the die at idle clean the idle air bypass port on the throttle body.

for the rpm fluctuations at high speed: place a mark on the prop and a corresponding mark on the hub. Run boat till it fluctuates. See if Mark's are still lined up. It may be as simple as a hub slipping.

if the fluctuations are more like a switch flipping that's usually bad plugs. I know you replaced them but here in Michigan it's not uncommon to run into a new plug that's bad right out of the box.
