I was getting my boat ready for the season(5.7 merc cruiser inboard 210hp).With water attached I started my boat at idle and was spraying carb cleaner into carb when I heard starter kick in.I shut off immediately but found that when I turned switch to on position the starter would energize.I pulled starter but found nothing wrong.I then checked sol relay-I could energize starter by jumping across terminals.Then I found that whenever you turned the switch to START position nothing happened(no clicking or energizing starter)also now when you turn the switch to the ON position the switch breaker kicks out after10seconds.I took wire from sol and sol relay but switch still kicks the breaker.Any ideas as to what the problem is?
