Looking for some feedback. My 1992 Cobia is cutting out and stalling when I get at or below 1100rpm. Replaced the plugs, wires and it is running perfectly at anything above 1100. stalls at idle as well. Makes for the tricky docking for sure!

is it stalling when you are trying to go in and out of neutral? if so, its most likely your lower shift cable and interrupt switch.

have a look, try to adjust per manual, if that doesn't work, replace the lower cable and re-adjust.

Thanks for the info, yes it stall out at around 1000/1100 RPM when throttling down. When I start it I have the throttle in neutral at around 1000rpm and once it starts, make sure I give it enough throttle to not stall out....Not good on the cables, etc. When cruising it has to stay at 1000+ to avoid the same thing.....Is there a link to the diagram....Really appriciate your feedback

This sounds more like a Carburetor adjustment, or it requires a strip and clean. .... also, have you checked the timing?
