yamaha F70la 2012

After running at full throttle for 10-15 minutes, the motor starts to bog down like it's out of gas. I put it in the neutral position, then I squeezed the bulb which feels firm and I'm able to return to full throttle for another 10-15 minutes. I've replaced the squeeze bulb and the fuel lines to the tank. The tank is vented properly, I also replaced the filter in the clear cannister and the filter after the fuel pump but I still have the same issue. The squeeze bulb remains firm and I have no leaks at all. I have not replaced the filter in the VST. Could this possibly be the problem?!

Thanks,
Mike

If your running in salt water it could be overheating due to corrosion in the water jackets Yamahas are famous for that. Also could be a dirty fuel filter that is restricting the gas flow that would be the first thing to check and replace.
