Default Engine Shut-Off Problem - Mercruiser 3.0L (2003)

I know this is a common problem but am still at a loss to eliminate.
Motor continues to try to run when it is shut off, which is likely a
timing issue. Can I simply unbolt the distributor cap and rotate it?
Did not look like that was possible. Any suggestions- other than
higher ocatane fuel?

I don't think you should do that. I think you should hire someone to check
the timing for you. Check idle speed too. Engine might be running too hot or
too rich, carboning up etc.
