Jim is correct on the cause.

If your boat has ventilation fans - run them at all times, even while running down the lake and thinking that you are getting enough air into the compartment. This should provide some cooling for the engine compartment and will probably eliminate the vapor lock problem as well as any " dieseling" problems when the ignition is shut-off.
