Chaparral 2011 264 Sunesta Volvo 8.1 GI-j randomly stalls. No sputtering just shuts down. Within minutes it restarts and runs great until it happens again. Any suggestions?
 
more details please. Does it stall while underway? Or only when out of gear at idle?
 
I'd start with a tune up. Two plugs not firing on time can cause a stall.
 
Thanks for the recommendations, I will try plugs and rotor. Does anyone have any experience with or recommendations for a scan tool for Volvo Penta 8.1 GI?
 
No experience with the diag tools but I did a search and amason has a few. Here is one of the lower priced ones that looked like it might help you and seemed affordable.

AUTOPHIX 7110 Full Systems Diagnostic Scan Tool Compatible with Volvo, Car Code Reader Full Functions OBD2 Scanner Battery Registration Tool for All Volvo After 1996 [2022 Version]​

 
I believe for boats the there is no OBD2 port. So that tool will not work.

I looked into this year's ago and the software for your laptop and the needed cable was around $600. I think it was a CAN port off the engine computer that you tap into.
