How does your fuel pick up tube and filter look? Fuel starvation can create that type of stall.
Had it happen once when taking a newly purchased 1980 C&C 36 under a train draw bridge after clearing the Ballard Locks (first trip as owner). Thought for sure I was going to leave the top of the rig on that bridge. Fortunately I got the engine to fire for just long enough to give the bridge tender time to open up. The engine stall was caused by debris in the tank blocking the fuel pick up tube. When the engine stalled the suction stopped and the debris drifted clear giving just enough fuel to fire and idle. Bacteria can clog a fuel filter without being visible to the naked eye. If you have the time and skills a filter change may be the easiest and lowest cost next step.

I crank up the 2GM15 let her come to operating temp. I idel up to around 900 and slip her into gear and it stalls out unless I goose the fuel. This is a problem. I don't have this problem in REV. But I cant operate a 8 thousand pound boat in swift currents, In close quarters. Is there something that can be don to fix this problem? Is this a problem with the C&C30 MK1 of centered shaft and engine alignment? The prop is clean. The Transmission turns by hand. There is oil in the transmission.
