i have a 1988 carver santego with twin mercruiser 4.3's that were repowered in 1998. i've have had the boat for about 2 1/2 years with no problems. for what ever reason this year, the starboard engine will stall when its put in reverse, even after a long warm up period. what do i look for here?

Replace the lower shift cable....<br />Do them both if you don't have a trailer....<br />Now is the time to evaluate the u joint bellows as well....<br />They have a similar service life ;) .....JK
