I just replaced the starter on the boat, It fires right up Everything sounded healthy perfect, no rough idle nothing. I put it in gear it ran fine everything, Then I gave it more gas & boom just stalls. I see the Volts below it right at 10. I know for a fact my battery is toast. It shows good voltage but tested bad in holding a charge. I'm thinking of starting at the battery and replacing it. which I think it most likely is. Since it powers an electric fuel pump & things. It's a 5.0 GL-E Volvo Penta SX.
