Alright, replaced key switch found out it was not bad. I think it is something with the ground wires from installing new powerhead. Again boat starts but dies when key is released. Are there any grounds wires that may cause this if they are not grounded on the right part of the block/powerhead? There was one wire that was on soleniod that mechanic said could be hooked up if wanted but was not needed when I replaced soleniod that had cracked with one he said was self grounding?. I hooked up and it burnt up so i guess it was definitely not needed but now wont stay running. But would run before that. Please help, the lake is up!<br /><br />see below<br /><br />Replaced powerhead after trying for hours to start force found blown block from fualty bearing.Tried to start for hours and several batteries worth Anyway, motor now starts and runs well but only with key turned to start. When I release the key it dies instantly, is this a bad inginition/key switch or something else. Did I burn something up in the key switch possibly? Power trim is dead also, related? Please help.
