When we put our pontoon boat in the water this year it initially ran fine for a few minutes, then the engine shut down to idle speed.  Any attempt to give more throttle results in sputtering.  Noticed that we don't appear to be ejecting water from the engine.  Is this more likely a clogged line or a failed water pump system?
