I have a 1990 Maxum, and it has a 3.0 I/O mercruiser on it. The engine will start just fine when I choke it, but when I bring the throttle back to put it in nuetral it shuts off like it just isn't idling high enough. I can put it in gear if I try to do it fast after choking the engine and the boat runs just fine after it has increased RPM's. This problem seems to get worse the longer I keep the boat out. Also most of the time if I have run for a bit and I come down to idle it seems like it runs wells just a little low.
I keep wondering if simply adjusting the throttle cable will allow the engine to idle just a bit higher so that it can run in neutral.
