Hi Bill I have a 3QM30 in my Landfall 38. If you have the original throttle and stop cable setup on your engine, it sounds as though it needs adjustment or lubrication.
The engine stop cable when it is pushed in all the way acts as the idle stop. If either the stop cable is not returning fully or pushed in all the way, the throttle lever on the fuel pump will retract too far and the engine will stop. Sometimes a good shot of lubricant or WD30 will fix it, but it may need more than that. I see you may be close to me (Halifax). If needs be I can have a look at it with you. I'm very familiar with it:) Rich Knowles INDIGO LF38 Halifax, NS.

With my 3MQ30, pushing the throttle down too far shuts the engine off...not what you want to happen while docking. Unfortunately, my tach just recently only works when the engine is cold...once up to temp, its stops working. I miss it when it goes on the fritz.
