94 force 120 intermittantly bogging down

[wildvortex]

My engine runs fine most of the time but occasionally will bog down at half or better throttle. when this happens it may be for a couple seconds or sometimes 30ish seconds. I have added sea foam just in case this is an issue cased by a small amount of water but have not seen any real change. Any suggestions where to go from here? would the carb reeds cause this as I have noticed a very small amount of blow back fuel at the intake?

Just for GP.Do a compression test.Then check the fuel pump diaphram.
Any inline connectors remove them.They can leak and suck air.
Replace all hoses including the squeezie.Check the vent hose for obstructions.
Install a water/fuel seperating filter to make sure their is no water getting to the carbs.J

Thanks jerry. took it out yesterday and was doing it at first then after running for a while I never had it happen again. hope the problem is gone but will see. gonna overhaul the fuel pump in the winter. boat sat for about 2 years with little to no use before I bought it. figure that the reeds might be dried out. hope that is what it is anyway
