Hi,I am first time poster,but avid reader.I have a 1994 force 150hp,thunderbolt ignition.Had it for 1 month.Cranks perfect everytime and idles with no problems.Seems like when I give it throttle it bogs.Since I've had it I have replaced starter,selenoid,plugs,rebuilt the fuelpump,check all coils,check fuel tank vent and delivery,replaced fuel line.I have not touch the carbs.First time out everything fine.second time fine.Third time after long wot run it started bogging.All cylinder compression checks good and even. Any help apprieciated.Thanks Roy

Welcome to iboats.

Does it bog and die, or bog and continue to sputter?
Does the primer bulb stay firm when running?
Does it help to squeeze the bulb when it bogs?

I would:
remove and check the fuel pickup from the gas tank, clean it, examine tank for debris or sludge.

Try running from a different portable fuel tank.

reset the idle mixture screws on the carbs

Then if all else fails, clean/rebuild the carbs.
