I am a new CC owner. Boat is a 1964 SuperSport with original 283 engine. When clutched in to reverse engine will cut out at low rpms. If I rev the engine in reverse it won’t stall, only at low rpms. Once it stalls it is difficult to start, but after some starts right up again. Getting tired from f rowing to the dock! Any ideas?

What is your idle RPM set to? Which drive? Volvo or Merc?
