The pilot had initiated a climb from a baulked landing. On application of the power he found that the engine was not responding correctly. He elected to turn towards the takeoff area in order to reduce the distance of the aircraft from shore. During the turn the aircraft stalled and side-slipped into the water from about 100 feet above the surface. Examination of the engine disclosed a binding throttle cable which prevented the throttle slide from opening fully when full power was demanded.
