It was made worse by a cantankerous starter. I once had to have guests steer while I jumped below and shorted the starter solenoid contacts with a big screw driver to start it. (docking was similar to Jack Lemon in The Wackiest Ship In The Army) I had the starter rebuilt. I was able to adjust my engine's idle speed by adjusting the throttle stop at the engine. I think it required two 9mm or 10mm wrenches. No problems since. When docking, I set the throttle and use the shifter to put it in and out of gear. I'm sure the idle is a little higher than spec, but now I feel less vibration and no stalling.

This primarily happens when moving forward and shifting into reverse, which is of course not good for stress levels when one has to pull into a slip and you can’t count on slowing down. Maybe I could increase the RPM somewhat before shifting, but that seems bad for the transmission so I haven’t done it. Any ideas what this might indicate?
