This problem started a couple months ago but would only do it while the engine was still cold The other day I was out and I had driven about 10 minutes away from the marina parked the boat turned it off and swam for maybe 5 minutes jumped back in started it up and it died 5 times when I tried to take off I finally had to ease into the throttle to get it to go and after that it was ok it would kinda hesitate when taking off but it wouldn't die it usually does this a few times every time I take it out The engine idles fine and starts fine and runs fine after it gets going but I get this problem when I stop and start it back up again

The choke is sticking or out of adjustment.
