I have a 228 Mercruiser I/O that's been giving me some trouble. It has always had the trouble of wanting to stall at idle after warm, & I've had the shift interrupt switch replaced, new alternator, resistance wire, coil & countless other parts replaced with little improvement, but thats not my big problem now, the problem i'm having now is that there seems to be a dead short somewhere. I charged the battery & started the boat a few months ago, & all seemed ok, then after sitting a few months, I went to start it again, & no go. Put the charger on & the needle pegged right out & I heard a click noise. Put a new battery in, but all electrical was still dead. Found the reset button on the engine, reset it, & it tripped again after about 3 seconds. .... any ideas?
