Default Balky Merc i/o...

I have a 17 foot Doral with an older 4 cylinder Merc I/O. (Old
fashioned carburettor and distributor.)
It's been idling a little rough and stalling at slow speed. Today I hit
a wake fairly hard and the engine stalled.
I've changed the fuel filter and put the appropriate Wynn's stuff in
both the oil and the gas. Haven't had a chance to take it out again. Am
I on the right track or is it something more serious?
Any further input would be most welcome.
