Default Having a engine problem with 468 mercruiser

Took the fountain out on the lake last weekend, got it put in the water and took off and I noticed when I let off the throttle to go into a no wake some my starboard engine died so I tried starting it back up and it hesitated a little bit and then it started and was running low rpm until I free reved it up then it acts like it's missing and when I put it in drive it starts acting like it's gonna die then eventually it does! I changed the oil and spark plugs oil filters and fuel filters and thermostats before taking it out this last time and when I took it the two times before I never had a problem? Could it be something I did here that I shouldn't of? I'm more of diesel guy I don't know much bout gas engines any help would be appreciated!

Is it carbureted, efi, blower, big cam etc.? The more information about the motor the better. Sounds like fuel delivery.

Sorry took so long to get back... Yes it is carburated with no blower and i just bought the boat so dont know much about it as of right now! Its mainly a stock motor is what i was told when i bought the boat! Took the disrtibutor apart thinking it had moisture and no moisture in there!
