    Need motor help please. 1995 Mercury XRI 150

    Was fishing the other day set down to move to another spot and when I stepped on the gas to get the boat go on plane it just plowed and acted like it had no power after a few seconds it jumped up on the pad and I took off well this went on through out the day. But when I was goin down the lake on plane the motor would cut back or skip a few times I guess you could say. And when you crank it. It want idle you have to hold the gas to it to keep it running. Any suggestions? My son has a high school tournament this Saturday and I need to get it fixed quickly. And I donÂ’t have the money to take it to these high dollar boat mechanics. Thanks for any help if you would like to message me thatÂ’s fine too. I appreciate any help on what to do or what it could be
