Runs great at high speed but when i go back to idle it will die after a minute or so. What could this be?

Ok so some more info is it will run really great when on the muffs but when i put it in the water it wont idle but for a minute or so. But it will still run great when the throttle is down...??? Sounds really confusing!:confused:
