boat: 1981 skeeter f16, 90hp johnson outboard.
the other day, i went to start the boat. the starter seemed weak, and it wouldnt turn fast enough to start. next thing i know, the ignition switch seemed powerless, and wouldnt even apply the electric choke. When i went to disconnect the battery, the connectors were hot enough to burn my hand. The battery reads 12.35 volts and still works the other functions. ideas? suggestions? PS the ignition was just replaced
