The USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes  seems to fix my  problems it :-)

A few less serious issues to deal with.

When I restarted shorewall  still had a default route left in main.
something like
default via 69.129.223.177 dev eth1
I removed it.

I think it is because I have both default routes defined in 
/etc/network/interfaces.
It was always there before but caused no harm as it was after the 
correct default route.

I have not rebooted yet  but suspect it will come back.
Should I remove one of the gateways out of interfaces?

Really should have  asked this first but in
http://www.shorewall.net/MultiISP.html has
For most routing applications, Quagga <http://www.quagga.net/> is a 
better solution.

I'm already running quagga and if it can be done I'm interested.
I  have a t1  (TDS) and a cable modem ( Charter ) , Particularly with 
the cable modem wouldn't think I would have sufficient a access to a 
routing protocol with the isp.
Is it possible to be able to use quagga for this?

When a isp is down need to temporarily disable it.
I have done a could different methods.
I have commented out providers and made scripts to change the default route.
Is there a shorewall way to do it?

Thanks
