Inboard Volvo,

Starting-Running Volvo Penta 2003
I have noticed that when I turn the ignition on ,a red battery light shows, I go through the start
sequence and the Volvo 2003 3 cylinder engine starts first time, and runs smoothly
the other two lights do not light.
This is the first Volvo 3 cylinder I have ever had, so please can you help a novice

Perhaps better to post this sort of question on the Practical Boat Owner forum as it will attract more attention from those who know about these engines

Ok , good point, sorry

IMO. it's not an engine problem but something to do with the alternator or charging system. Question will get more attention on PBO Forum as Tranona says.
