    At the end of last years boating season I had two outdrive issues that needed repair. The first problem was that when shifting into gear, the throttle would advance too much before the actual shift took place. As a result there would be a slamming noise every time I engaged into forward or...

    My boat has a 1986 Mercruiser alpha One outdrive with a Quicksilver throttle control. When shifting from neutral into forward, the gas seems to advance too much before the engine shifts. The result is a 'Slamming' into forward gear due to the excessive throttle. Last year a mechanic...
