To me it sounds like a fuel problem. Try squirting gas down the carb when it starts to die. I bet it picks right back up.

Check your fuel line between the engine and the tank, had same problem earlier this spring trolled about 6 miles back to ramp. Got home and realized the Steering cable had the fuel line pinched off between it and the transom. Needless to say the fuel line now has its own dedicated hole to pass thru.;)

one note to add to the part about squirting gas into the carb, make sure its premix that you use,as the only lube the bearings ,rings and pistons get is whats mixed in with the fuel,don't want to scuff a piston now do we? MOPAR MAN

pull the bowl off of the carb and verify the needle valve is not sticking, when you remove the bowl watch for debris and water, then check your fuel lines for internal problems. when was the last time the carb was rebuilt, it may be time.
