Hello all. My 1986 Force 50 HP is drawing over 1,000 (yes 1,000) amps when cranking. This doesn't take much more than a minute before the battery is no longer strong enough to turn the engine. I purchased a brand new battery which led to the discovery of the high amp draw. I was told either that the starter is in need of repair / replace OR I have a short someplace. I hate to tear into everything to tracing wires and cables as it's a lot of tear down. Does anyone agree that I may have pierced a wire when I installed my new trim with screws? Would that make it draw lots of amps potentially? Having the starter rebuilt should be easy enough but I am afraid that might not be the issue. Your opinions are appreciated greatly. Thank you.
