When you come back to the boat and it won't start, do you squirt a little starting fluid down the carb to see if it will kick over that way? I'd highly suggest it. One of 3 things will happen:

1. It will kick over enough to get things moving then run on it's own.

2. It will kick over, then stop when the spray is gone. This means you've got a fuel problem somewhere from the carb back.

3. It won't kick over at all. This means you've got a spark/ignition problem.

If nothing else, this will at least narrow down the issue.
