It is the saltwater model, idles fine for an hour in and out of gear , after warm up it drops to 600, starts fine when cold, as soon as you go 1/2 or full throttle and shut it off or go to idle, it stalls. It will only stay running if you quickly throttle up to 1500 rpm. It will run all day at that speed or full throttle.
take it back to the dock and starts up fine the next day.

Time to rebuild carbs, maybe. Check operating temperature. Possible fuel pump issue. Possible fuel contamination (water).
