Hello,

Starter has been replace 8/9/17
Starter Solenid replaced 8/13/17

My starter is engaging the flywheel and turning over and it works fine sometimes. Every once in a while we will be running and we will hear the starter spinning. We turn off the boat and the starter will remain spinning until we kill the batteries. As soon as we turn back on the batteries the starter remains spinning (even with the key off).

Lets have the whole story on this one. Start with model #.

Then tell us why you replaced the starter. Did that solve it for four days?

Have you had the battery load tested? I mean a load test, not a volt test.

How many batteries are in the circuit? Is there a battery switch?

It sounds like you put either an automotive solenoid in (looks similar, doesn't work the same) or you hooked a good one up wrong, or you have a bad key switch.
