Sounds to me like maybe the shift interupt is not adjusted correctly.

Re: motor trouble

Going into gear, the shift interrupt system shouldn't even be used. Watch the Y bracket on the engine when you put the shifter into gear. If the Y bracket hold in the activated position, you need a lower shift cable. It's binding, and a very common problem with the OMC and Mercruiser drives

You need to put this in the i/o section.
