Does anyone know why my port e

Does anyone know why my port engne shuts down everytime I put the port side engine control in reverse when docking my boat?

This is a nuisance everytime I dock the boat.

I have 1987 Searay Amberjack with twin 165 mercs.
 
there is a switch on the shift

there is a switch on the shift linkage that is supposed to momentarily cut spark to some cylinders during shift to minimize hard shift. When the shift linkage is out of adjustment the switch will stall the engine. See the mercruiser manuals for adjustment.
