Motor is running kind of funny. Is this why? Has been sputtering and wont get full throttle at times.

That will do it.
Ok, I guess I should have been more specific. What do I do about it?
Clean it.......
Looks like it may be flooding on you. Have you adjusted the air fuel adjustment screw on it. Pull the bowl off and see if the float is level when you hold the carb upside down.
You need to clean your carbs and use ethanol free gas from that point on.
The bowl is the bottom half of your carb
You may not want to tackle this project alone.
If God didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of meat.
Blue Death and go ahead and change all you filters and fuel line's for you put the carb back together. Looks like a OMC carb and if it is you gotta replace all gaskets,etc. Good Luck

What is blue death? Is the carb kit something I can buy local?
Phase separation due to E-10

Once I get it fixed its ethanol free from then on
Well this sucks....took apart the carb, cleaned it and put it back together and can't get it to fire now
you have moisture in your fuel......just cleaning the carb dosent do u any good

They speak of my drinking, but never consider my thirst!
Carb is out of adjustment look up link and sync for that motor. Looks like 25 to me. The top most screw hole on the carb above the throat is either a needle valve or idle jet. From the pic it looks like idle jet and there should be a screw that goes in that hole to cover the jet. Looks like some blue oil/funk mix coming from up there from your pick. Sometimes these screws can back out and your air fuel ratios go to shit. Thus bad idle. Just rebuilt my 40 hp carbs and one of the top screws I am referring to had backed out and fuel was seeping out and motor would bog at idle.
Tip go to boats.net and pull up a parts blow up chart for your motor's carb to help make sure you have all parts and they were put back properly after rebuild
This may be a long shot, but here goes. The 25 Merc on the Alumacraft I sold to Failed has a small circuit board on the side encapsulated in plastic. If the man in Triangle City wouldn't have schooled me I'd still have no idea that was the problem, probably. He told me before I got through the first sentence what it was. But the motor would act like it only running on one cylinder because it was. When the break would touch for just a second it would run great.
I'm not outboard tech, but you may have something similar going on.
