I have a fuel problem
I continue to have a fuel delivery issue
1st I have replaced all the fuel lines, new 10 micron fuel filter, with fuel filter engine side also. The engine starts fine and in idle runs fine. When I power up after about 20 secs I loose power and it sounds like the engine does not get enough gas to run at full throttle. Spend last night trying to trace out what it could be. I have fresh fuel,the gas lines are not kinked and all are new and I replaced to another new filter yesterday so I want to say that the problem is not there. My thoughts are that there is something inside the tank that is clogging the pickup or could it be something engine side Short of pulling the tank coffin cover to get to the tank which involves removing the center console I need some ideas??????????

Jorge, Happy Memorial Day weekend!
You have likely already done this but I would start by connecting a portable fuel tank to your fuel water separator and seeing if that works as normal. Assuming the valves on the fuel/water separator are open, that would eliminate the fuel pump and anything else from the fuel/water separator to the motor. That leaves: 1). Valve at fuel/water separator is closed (hey, its easy to do, but fortunately as easy to fix) 2). A clog in your fuel pick-up tube or elbow (I've experienced this) you maybe able to disconnect hose and blow into it. If it bubbles the fuel like a water pipe, the flow is good. However something may be getting sucked into the tube. 3). A broken or separated fuel pick-up tube (Gonna have to go in)... 4). A clog in in your vent (should be able to hear or feel air as you fill tank) 5). You are simply out of gas  (I've experienced this thinking I had plenty of fuel)Good luck. Keep us posted.

I think your engine has a diaphragm style fuel pump on it. maybe ethanol ate it up.

Run it off a 5 gal gas can, that takes the whole (boat side) fuel system out of the equation. If you still have an issue with WOT then its on the motor.
How long has it been since the motor ran? If its more than a few weeks/months with untreated ethanol fuel then its time to tear down carbs/fuel pump. To give you an idea how quick it happens my lawn mowers used to have an issue sitting more than a few weeks (worse over winter) if I didnt treat the fuel!

you have to take the carbs off the engine to do this.
