You found the problem,

runs great out of the water and dies in the water, TOO lean, must run rich out of the water and need to bleep the throttle to clear out.

oh, please use smaller font.

Chances are if it is running really good on shore and then dies in the water - you have it set too lean so bring the needle out so you have to keep juicing the throttle to keep it running on shore then give it a good toss and gas it soon as it hits the water and try to keep it wide open till your up and running.
