Volvo Penta 3.0 on a Monterey Edge 180 No Spark, Not Firing, Will Crank

[srwhouston]

Good morning everyone. I have a 2000 Monterey Edge 180 with a VP 3.0. Upon dewinterizing (a little late in the season I know), I was able to start the boat. Ran good all day in the driveway while cleaning and what not. Let it sit for the week and came back about 5 days later to work on it a little more, and now it will not start.

I have verified that I can getting fuel. I have also verified I am not getting spark. I have good battery, new plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor and coil. I checked all the fuses and breakers. I am getting voltage to the coil, and between the coil and distributor. I am not getting anything out of the distributer, but am not sold on the idea that is the issue. Is there something in line, or involving the starting and charging system I should look at?

I hope I left enough details for someone who has possibly seen this issue to pinpoint.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. I have left it alone until today. Here are some photos. Still not firing. I have read about a condensor, but I cant seem to find one on this system. Anything will help.

I will get a close up of the distributor, and the motor tag now and post.

thanks
