Backfiring
#5
Accelerator pump failure usually causes a hesitation going from the idle circuit to initial acceleration.
Its basically a transition circuit that gives a brief squirt of fuel until the jets flow the fuel.

If the boat is running fine for a while and then it starts acting up, it could be your ignition coil getting hot. Your tachometer may feak out as well. Ignition coils don't last forever. I see you have a 1988 Baja. Time to change your ignition coil. Also, take off your distibutor cap and see what type of condition it is in.
