Suspected EVC Problem

I am having ignition issues. I have twin Volvo 2005 Penta D6's with EVC (old style, no LED display). The port engine cranks and runs normally. However, it will not shut down via ignition switch. The starboard engine will not even turn over. The EVC panel displays the "lock" light red, Transmission is definitely in neutral. There are no fault displays of any kind.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hey Brad, sorry to hear about your issue.
Don't think this will help with your issue but I figured I'd share.
Going on my 3rd year with the boat and still learning.
I have 2006 D6's. EVC-B (older version).
I don't have the display I just have the basic panel. I was told that I could get fault codes, supposed to flash a series of 3 sets of lights from the panel when I acknowledge the alarms. No such luck, I have to pay a mechanic with Certified Volvo Diagnostic Software to read the codes.
I had an alarm on the warning light display (idiot lights) indicating I had issues with the water in the diesel. took out the sensor on the on engine fuel/water separator, I tested it and looked good but the alarm didn't go away. Found out the sensor was faulty ($90) and alarm went away. I'd like to know how to get codes from the EVC without having to pay $500 for them to come out and read the codes.
Good luck with your issue.
Let us know how you make out.
Good luck
