Engine problems on my yacht

I have a problem with the engine on my yacht - it sometimes stalls at low revs. Has anyone experienced this? Any tips on diagnosis and repair perhaps? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Despite having a nagging suspicion that this isn't what it seems to be, I'll bite...

What sort of an engine do you have (make, model and year)?

I think I see the problem.
You need to twirl around 3 times, while saying the magic words, " hey diddle diddle" twist the rubber band again, nice and tight, and you'll be good to go.

Keep the RPM's up and she'll put like a kitten.

Could be as simple as adjusting the idle RPM. Or not.
