ANY help is appreciated! I have a Suzy DT85 on my 24 ft. Pontoon. I love it when it runs! Started and ran fine then bogged down and died then barely turned over. Has happened a few times. a jump or replacing the battery with a strongly charged one worked before, now it just barely turns over. New water pump kit, rebuilt starter have been installed recently. I did feel the gas line bubble and it was not firm but that shouldnt make the battery weak and unable turn over well. 3 visits to mechanic this season, so i'm looking for help anywhere.

Go to the bottom of this web page and get a manual. It sounds like your charging system is funky and the battery is running down and killing the engine which now doesn't have enough juice to restart. Verify that the charging system and battery are working correctly and if you still have problems post again and you can go from there.
