    1975 35 Double Alternator

    Are you sure it's 80ish, it could be a defective gauge? To verify remove sender and install a handheld mechanical gauge.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    It looks to me like your motor has both connectors image 1079 for connector 94029 CAN and image 1082 for connector 94024 EGC. The 94029 is the newest connector, if it was me I would go with it 94024 - $59.00 94029 - $249.00 Diacom - $599.00 Techmate - $499.00 Kit 94030c - $719.00 Diacom with...

    Water Leaking from sides of stern drive help

    Plug is out and there is no water in the bilge, yet water is leaking around the housing? If above statement is true then no this isn't normal. Bounce on the drive real hard to see if transom flexes. If it does, then transom is soft

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Don't know what it is other then the ECM is seeing a fault. A scanner will indicate which it is. Could be as simple Battery voltage going to low, or more complex like another sensor or ECM Your seeing fuel on the plugs then the injectors are firing.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Gauges are analog and showing 20 when engine is off just means it probably needs replaced. That said seeing 20 when off and 80 when running would tell me its about 60 when running which would be closer to accurate, and is good enough The diacom software would be best because it can record data...

    Check your battery voltage, should be close to 12.7V at rest and not connected to a charger. Voltage should not drop below 10V when cranking Has the distributor been moved? hope not

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Your correct it comes from the crank sensor I would start by replacing the distributor cap and rotor. Most call them Crap cap because they can look great and be bad. Most carry a spare because there is no warning when they can go out With the new motors pulling the coil wire can cause their...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Does look like there was a change with diagnostics connector between those 2 years. Find the connector near the ECM and see if its round 94024 or flat 94029. It will have a plastic cover over it

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    The Tach signal comes from the distributor. With the new motors they really need to be scanned for codes. Scanner can be bought from Rinda https://www.rinda.com/marine/marinemenu.htm What was the motor doing before this happened? Have you checked fuel pressure at the rail? How are you checking...
