I have a problem with my 1990 force 120. I have recently been refurbishing the boat; seat covers, etc. I also replaced the steering cable and did some other work.
I take the boat out of the garage and try to start it and the ground wire coming from the engine wiring harness going to the solenoid and to a ground melts. I have replaced the starter and the starter solenoid. I replaed the wire with a new one and the wire still melts...
Am I having a grounding issue with the engine?
Do the main cables from the battery connect to the solenoid(red of course) and to a grond in the engine housing or am I grounding it to the wrong spot?
Did I disconnect a wire inside the housing and reattach to the wrong spot?
I have seen posts such as this on this forum before but now cant seem to find it....
Any help would be appreciated..
