Took my boat out today. It ran fine at first, then has symptoms of fuel
starvation at high speeds, slowing to a crawl, and then hard to start and
keep running. Then it runs fine, starts fine, idles fine, high speed fine.
Then the other end again. I'm going to change the fuel filter on the motor
and see if that does it. After that, I guess it just has to go to the shop.

80% of the time, the carb needs to be thoroughly cleaned when you have
symptoms like that.
