That's exactly what my 1987 Merc (175) has been doing lately. I am going to adjust the idle up a bit today and see if it helps. Usually happens when pulling in or out and I am going to or from neutral to either reverse or forward. It is rare on the outbound but has happened, and lately almost always stalls on inbound marina. I'm heading out soon and will try the idle and post back here how it went.
