Runs great then stalls and won't Start?

[CapJAck2007]

OK here we go on our magical mystery tour. The bowrider is about 5yrs old 72 hours. The boat start great, runs well until... cruising along and the power cuts out the engine slows..sometimes recovers...somtimes stalls. If it stalls most times it restarts...Others it won't. It turns over revs and stalls...Like there is a problem with the kill switch?

Runs about 170, Changed filters last year

Any suggestions? Had to get a tow on Sunday! New battery, fresh marine gas, ingintion switch was replaced last summer with the thought that was causing the problems.

Be kind first time poster.

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me, try this.

It also sounds like fuel starvation to me. Did you clean all the filters? There are often filters in the carb and the fuel pump.

It appears to be a wiring harness problem! We will see! Back on the water tomorrow! Thanks for you help and advice.
