Boats do not have carburetors. Engines do though and Sea foam is a great product for doing a number of amazing things,as Cristiano suggested. If it doesn't help you'll have to bite the bullet and get the (entire) fuel system serviced down to the last little bitty part. I suggest running your engine once a week for 15 minutes to avoid future problems. Good luck

If the engine RUNS, put a bottle of Techron in the tank, and run it for a while.
If the engine WON'T run, then try some spray carburetor cleaner....might help.

You CAN try cleaning it with spray cleaner on the engine but it can make a mess - I'd recommend removing it and cleaning out any passages you can find. Check the fuel bowl for sediment and clean that too.
