Default Motor Woes

Yesterday while out on the water I got stranded for the second time out of the 3 times I've taken the boat out since I got it. The first time was last week when I was trying to drive it onto the trailer.

The motor runs great but yesterday we stopped to swim for about ~15-20 mins. Then when we decided to do some tubing the motor would not fire back up. Ususally when it does this I put the throttle fully forward in neutral with no choke and it fires up and revs and then I bring it down and it'll idle so-so (kinda rough)

Any ideas? It's a Mariner 150hp and I think it's running a little rich at idle. It has a hard time idleing and when the motor is trimmed in the fully up position gas will leak from the carbs.

Please help me!
