If you have a gas engine, there might be a filter at the end of the pickup
tube (in the tank). Pull the tube and check to see if it's clogged. My
previous boat had an Atomic Foiur engine. After many years, it would run in
idle, but not at speed. When I pulled the tube, there was a filter that was
clogged. After I dissolved the clog, the engine ran fine.
