your motor (no lube), you will burn your pistons and ruin your cylinders, to test your fuel pump try pumping the bulb when the motor starts to bog down (starving for fuel) if continues to run and raises the RPMs you could have a bad fuel pump, but a carb re-build would not hurt either, also check your fuel lines you might have air being sucked in to your fuel system"

i pumped the bulb when it was running and it wouldnt go anywhere when i got on the gas in the water it would just die but when i do it on the trailer it revs up fine but when its in the water it wants to die when i try to power up

"double check your lines and re-build your carbs, pumping the bulb is done when the boat is already in water and in forward gear and starts to die, or just get a fuel gauge and measure the pump's fuel pressure (put the gauge between the pump and the carbs) to be sure, but it sounds like air in the lines(sucking air) or either fuel pump or carb re-build"
