Default 1999 Mercury 150 Optimax clicking noise

I recently purchased a boat with a '99 Merc Optimax 150hp, motor runs good except for 2 issues:1- Clicking noise when running, sounds like injector noises, do they go bad after a certain time ?2- Sometimes I can't shift into gear, from idle, without motor killing.Anybody have some info on this ?Thanks
