Hi guys went fishing yesterday motor was excellent in the morning latter in the day after some lunch the engine would not idle probably it sounded very quite for a 2 stroke and to get it to go forward I had to put it in gear from about 1/4 throttle it is a merc 15 super and is 10 months old

Warranty should be the way to go with this. Sounds like it should just be a simple problem like a lead that has fallen off 1 of the coils or something.
You may be able to take the cowling off and have a quick visual check of all the electrical connectors and maybe even the spark plug leads. Could just be a coil is faulty too.
