Dwell is open / close ratio, which is more accurate way of setting gap. (requires a dwell meter)
This a Mercruser I/O??? Haines manuals are available for these.
Thought came to mind, did you check alignment of the points. (they have to close absolutely flat) Also was there a condensor on the positive side of the coil? (check for this)

It's a 351 Commander in a v-drive tournament ski boat. Commander is the company that marine-ized it.
I re-set the points to .017 and no change. They were about .020 before.
The condensor was/is on the (-) side, with the tach wire. The plus side goes to the ballast resistor & the starter relay.
