The baot as twin F150's with the regular throttles (Not fly by wire)

Here is the issue.

when the main trim/tilt switch (the one that controls both engines) is pressed the right engine bogs down. Once the switch is released the engine resumes to normal operation. The trim/tilt switches that control the engines idependently work just fine. The issue exists only when the main switch is pressed. At one point, I briefly pressed the main switch and the right engine completely shut off. It started right back up afterwards and ran fine. It doesn't appear to be an engine issue, but rather some sort of electrical issue.

Any thoughts? :504_shrugging: :rb-rules:
