    Mercruiser 350MAG MPI 5.7L with Bravo 1 cutting off when put in gear

    ^ Gotcha, thanks... being an 06 engine model year, there doesn’t really seem to be to many possible known issues from that era for symptoms like that… mostly spark plug issues and distributor cap and rotor type issues.

    You may want to try checking and/or bypassing the ignition key switch to see if the engine will start/spark. Does your boat setup have a lanyard safety kill switch? Sometimes they go bad and act funny. How are the gauges acting?
