I have a 96 Yamaha 115hp Pro-V 4 cylinder outboard motor on my Bayliner. Overall the motor works great, I am able to start it on the second or third try with the electric start while choking it and when in gear, there are no issues getting up to speed, sounds great, and never cuts out. The issue is when I am sitting at the boat launch or a dock and I am letting the engine idle, it typically wont idle for more than a minute before suddenly cutting out. I can restart it without any issues but I cant get it to stay idling. I have run a bottle of seafoam through the engine last year and also put all new plugs in. I've also attached a video of this event happening (at the end of the video). Any ideas what my issue may be? Any help is greatly appreciated.
