My 2006, 20 horse, four stroke Honda outboard stalls when running in gear at an idle speed. The engine will run for maybe 8 to 12 minutes (give or take several) at idle when it will stall. Following the stall, with the engine in neutral, it fires right back up, and will either continue to run in idle or will easily take off. There is no hesitation in restarting. If running in idle after the restart, it may or may not stall again within the same time range.
I assume this is an electrical issue, only because of the way it restarts. I would think it would be harder to start if it was running out gas, or there was any type of fuel issue. But, again, it starts immediately.
I have taken it to a dealer, and they reported no issue. Possibly because when I said, it stalls at idle and they did not understand that I meant when in gear.
I am thinking of selling the boat, but need to take care of this first Thanks for any ideas...
