That was a problem with some of the early OMC SeaDrives. They were mounted at the factory per OMC's recommended height, only to discover later that it was too low. The exhaust ports just below the powerhead cowling were under water at slow speeds sometimes. This along with the bigger OMC's propensity to carbon up caused a lot of stalling issues.
We had many similar complaints when I worked for Boston Whaler.
