w/quicksilver controls any time after starting that i try to put back into neutral engine kills,or after quickly shifting into drive and pulling back into neutral it kills, the momentary microswitch does not make contact to kill the engine thru the linkage at the engine, is there another kill switch at the throttle control that i don't know about? any info would be appreciated. the boat has twins and i have compared the linkages and they seem to be the same. thanks for your help

Double check the shift interrupter switch. Just disconnect it and see if she still does it. That switch is to make contact for a split second so you can put it into neutral. Shift adjusting
