Other than the idle issue the motor runs great. I just need to turn up the idle and do not know how. Can someone help?

best find out why it does not idle rather than just speeding it up.

Providing your carbs and throttle plate housing are clean and working, mix screws properly set, the idle rpm is set by moving the tab marked 'LOW' on the spring loaded sensor bracket on top of the flywheel cover.

I had the carbs synched and everything gone over. The motor idle with water hose attached. The mechanic did not take it to the lake though.

Then drop it in the lake and adjust the idle!
In gear, boat mooving freely, about 800 rpm.
remember to wait until the quick-start has shut off!!!
