Chaparral 180 Mercruiser 3.0
A few days ago on the water my boat started just fine but I heard some extra racket going on and found that the starter was still cranking while the engine was running. I turned the key to off and removed the key and it was still cranking. I was able to get it to stop after jiggling the key so I assume the ignition switch is junk. I tried again later and it started fine no issues but an attempt an hour later and I had the same issue. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
