    Oh boy, thought I had lousy luck…Yes, when the engine is shuddering and slowing down/stopping/popping out of the water, it is because the engine is stalling out, not jumping out of gear…
    After all the gearcase work, did it get refilled with lubricant properly? Is it overheating? Proper fuel/oil mix?
    I guess I would start by draining the gear lube….
