I'm sure no expert but::Be sure everything is bonded together as one.Pontoons,frame,deck,motor.Be sure there is no stray voltage
from your electrics including shore power.Be sure your zinks are installed properly and in excellent shape.If there is a problem with the marina power or a neighboring boat it could be your problem as well.
