2005 mercruiser 305 chevy

My (new to me) 2005 boat tends to die when put into reverse unless too much throttle is added. Any ideas?? It otherwise runs great!
thanks!

Sounds like a Shift Interupter Switch issue?

May need adjustment or replaced?

Adjustment is covered here in the manual on page 17 & 21:
