I recently got a "new" boat (our first boat). Got the engine going and took it out on the lake for the first time today. When ever we go from a higher speed to a lower speed, the engine would die. Also when we dropped it into idle the engine would die too.

I haven't had time to look anything up on this as we just finally got the boat docked for the night and I know this forum had some really good advise as I used this site when i first got the boat to make sure everything was working okay when I first got it.

Thanks to everyone in advance.
