Never had this happen before. Replaced my starter about a month ago, seems to work fine but havent had the boat back on the water. Gonna do a test fire today getting ready for next weekend. Turn the key, it starts to turn over, I let go of the key, and it keeps turning over. I cycle the key a few times, it keeps turning over, and over, and over..
I disconnected the battery cable, which was getting mighty warm by the way.
So I get out my handy dandy ohm meter, to find where the problem is. Come to find out it is the starter solenoid, stuck in start mode. Full connection from the battery terminal to the start terminal, without any voltage going to it.
I replaced the solenoid, but has anyone else experienced this? Thought it was strange for a new one to do that.
