Yes i bought the Diacom new. I am using the 94024 adapter. I am choosing EGC 2006-2007 (serial connector) is the system type.

Thanks,
Ok --serial
If you haven't already, it would be a good idea to use the Diacom "utilities" and check that your cable version it up to date.

You can use the compression test feature in Diacom to disable your fuel and spark while you are testing to find the voltage drop.

Im getting ready to put the boat back in the water for the season. (not that there seems to be much point since im just outside NYC and Covid19 has everything here at a standstill)
I am finding the Volve 30W full synthetic oil to be harder and harder to find and more and more expensive as well. My manual also says i can use 15w30

My last post should have read:
